View Draft Report
Outfielder Brett Nommensen put up the best hitting numbers in college baseball in the first half of the season, batting .521 with 11 homers and leading NCAA Division I in on-base percentage (.649) and slugging (1.021) through 28 games. Then he broke the hamate bone in his right wrist and didn't bat again until the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. Five-foot-10 and 190 pounds, Nommensen has a compact lefthanded swing and a patient approach. While scouts acknowledge his ability to hit and get on base, as well as his instincts, they question whether he has more than one big league tool. He has below-average power and average speed and arm strength, which may make him more of a tweener than a regular outfielder down the line. That's why he went undrafted despite batting .402 as junior a year ago.
