Scouting Report

Scout Director Notes:

"The 6-foot-1, 180-pound two-way prospect had a big summer for Exposure climbing into the top 60 prospects in the 2021 class.  Nettles possess some big upside on both sides of the ball, as a power first baseman and an upper 80s arm.  Big, strong frame with room to carry additional muscle.  At the dish, quiet, simple setup with minor leg kick and quick hands.  Heavy dose of barrels, driving the ball into the gaps (Max Exit Velo: 93.8 mph | AVG: 90.3 mph via Trackman).  On plane early and often (83% on plane efficiency) paired with ample bat speed (Max: 69.5 mph via Blast) and strong rotational acceleration data (Max: 19.8 G | AVG: 16.74 G).  Defensively, moves well around the bag at first and above average runner (7.05 laser 60) with solid arm (82 INF Velo).  

On the bump, quiet repeatable delivery with glove tap timing cue to get the arm up.  Shows the ball a bit, but disruptive timing in delivery makes for an uncomfortable at bat, especially for righties.  Gets good shoulder-hip separation allowing for his arm to clear and whip through his delivery.  FB comes out of the hand clean and jumps on hitters at 84-88 mph (Max Spin: 2127 rpm | AVG: 1951 rpm via Trackman).  Bears down w/ slight sink action and showed ability to dot pitches down in the zone while extending up for chase.  Mixed solid SL at 72-74 (Max Spin: 2130 rpm) with proper shape and flashes of good bite.  Showed some feel for the pitch with good tunnels off FB, and should be a S/M offering in the near future.  Overall, Nettles has established himself as one of the top uncommitted two-way prospects on the board." -Colton Provey
