JD Nelson had one of the loudest BPs of the event. The 5’10”, 191 lb left-handed hitting outfielder from Murrieta Mesa posted a 101.2 mph max exit velocity and a 361-foot max distance, putting up numbers that are hard to ignore regardless of class or context. He sprays the ball to all quadrants, and the upper half of the swing is the generator for his power, showing clean, refined mechanics without ever looking like it gets away from him. The aggressive approach is genuine, but it's controlled aggression, and the hard-hit numbers back that up. In the outfield, Nelson checked in with an 86 mph arm from right field to the plate, one of the quicker reads of the day from that position. Heading into his senior year as a top-of-the-order bat, he's got the profile of an OF ready to make a big impact at the high school level and beyond. The raw power is real, and the swing to generate it is already in a good place.
