Midwest Future Games Profile: Ian Nelson from Timberland HS

Ian Nelson, MIF, Timberland HS:
Nelson may have established himself as one of the top middle infielder at the Top Prospect Games.

At the plate, the solidly built 5-foot-8, 180-pound left handed hitter shows a balanced stance and advanced approach to hitting. Nelson has quick hands and creates fast bat speed through the zone with a short, compact swing that drives the ball gap to gap with some power potential.

In the field, Nelson displays a good approach to the ball with a clean exchange and a quick release while playing through the ball. His throws are all accurate, with a top velocity of 82-mph across the diamond.

Nelson is a player who should garner plenty of attention over the next few years.
