Brent
Nevils

INF Brent Nevils (Brother Rice, 2026) appears to be a physical right-handed bat to monitor this spring. He has been clearly putting in some work in the weight room, standing in at 6-foot, 195-pounds with a developed lower-half and round shoulders. There’s some present strength in his right-handed bat as well, reaching up to 97 mph for his peak EV with a 90 mph average (T355’). He has a simple and handsy swing that stays compact throughout, looking to stay mostly to his pull-side throughout the round. He showed soft hands on the infield with a clean transfer, staying through the baseball before delivering accurate strikes from a ¾ release, T83 mph.
