2025 RHP Nolan Bigras one of the better arms at the Toronto Fall Open ID. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound, RHP works out of a ¾ arm slot and showed feel for his 3-pitch mix. Kills the spin on the change up, with an average total spin of 1736rpm and there is fading movement to it. The slider showed good shape to it and was able to throw it for strikes. A 2025 to keep an eye on as he progresses and fills out.
