Nelson has proven to be a solid college starter for Radford. He has the ability to pitch into the low 90s with his fastball, and he gets above-average movement on the pitch as it runs to his arm side. Nelson also throws a late-breaking slider that has two-plane break as it enters the zone. He can sometimes miss his spots high, but is usually able to generate weak contact due to the late movement of his stuff. Nelson has a sturdy 6-foot-2 frame. His changeup shows some promising signs, and refining his feel for his offspeed stuff will be a key focus for Nelson at the next level. He has a chance to pitch in the back of a rotation, though he could end up turning into a reliever who generates lots of ground balls.
