6-foot-3, 210-pound strong projectable frame. Side step rocker with a high balance point and hips elevated engaging the lower half early. From the balance point Nelson moves quickly down the mound reaching out with the lead leg, shoulders elevated, and lands slightly closed. Delivery has effort and intent on all three pitches. Arm action is longer, but has solid arm speed throwing from a three-quarter arm slot. Fastball was 87-88 with arm side run and explosion through the zone. Curveball was hard with fastball intent and had late 10/4 shape with swing and miss potential. Changeup had fade while thrown at 77-78 with present arm speed. Very interesting arm to follow as he continues to grow.
