MIF/RHP Sutton Nelson (Waupun, 2029): Measuring in with a wiry, projectable 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame, continues to establish himself as one of the top two-way talents in the freshman class. Operating from the right side, the right-handed hitter features a stock setup into a swing that is short, fast, and direct to the zone, creating leverage out front with a whippy barrel. He generated a max EV of 87 mph and an average EV of 80.3 mph, paired with 68.5 mph of bat speed and 19.0 g of rotational acceleration. 7.23 runner, and throws across the infield were measured at 84 mph. On the mound, the right-hander uses an ultra-athletic, clean delivery from a high 3/4 slot to produce arm strength that is well beyond his years. Tying for the 2029 class lead in peak velocity, his fastball sat 84 mph (2,303 rpm) with 13.8 inches of average induced vertical break, while his slider played at 66-68 mph (2,496 rpm) with -16.4 inches of horizontal movement. He rounded out his arsenal with a changeup arriving at 70-71 mph (1,645 rpm) with 9.6 inches of horizontal movement.

Junior Future Games 2025: Projectable 5-foot-10, 149-pound frame, Nelson impressed on the mound, showcasing a fastball with run that consistently missed barrels in the second game against Team Pennsylvania, going two innings, only allowing one hit.
