View Draft Report
Nordgren has been one of the top pitchers in NCAA Division-III during his four-year tenure at Birmingham Southern. He made just three starts his sophomore and junior years, throwing 119 innings in relief and earning Southern Athletic Association pitcher of the year honors last year. Lean and athletic at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, Nordgren works 88-92 mph and his fastball plays up with downhill plane, life and sink. His slider is fringe-average but projects as average, and he pairs it with an average changeup. He is a fast, efficient worker who pounds the strike zone, evidenced by 1.6 walks per nine in his career while striking out 7.2 with a 1.55 ERA. His track record, pitchability and groundball tendencies make him an attractive senior sign.
