2025 OF/RHP Nash Driedger put together a solid overall day across the board and was a standout in all areas of his game. 5-foot-11, 155-pounds with strength to come and put together a good round of BP from the right-side with consistent barrels (60%) while lifting the ball to the pullside. His average distance of 246ft was third-best at the event, along with a peak exit velocity of 86.1mph. His 84mph arm in the outfield was top at the event and the arm strength translated to the mound. Right-handed pitcher with three-pitch mix and a fastball that sat 79-82mph and topped at 83mph. Showed feel for a knuckle-curve at 67-69mph and it’s a good splitter with heavy horizontal action (16.3 avg HM).
