UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - OF - Elijah Nunez

 


Elijah Nunez

OF             TCU

 

2-19-23 - D1 - Week 1 - Saturday -

OF Elijah Nunez is one of college baseball’s most exciting players … He already had one of the best eyes in college baseball at the plate. Now, he’s off to a red-hot start to begin the 2023 campaign, and that’s a big development for the Frogs. Nunez was the emotional leader for the Frogs in the rout over Arkansas. In addition to having a couple of hits for the Frogs, he pressed the issue with his speed, and also finished the night with a pair of walks. Nunez is a do-it-all player, and he’s a strong defender to go with his offensive attributes.

 

1-19-23 - Top 25 Breakdown: No. 15 TCU

Glue Guy: OF Elijah Nunez. Good things typically happen when Nunez finds his way on base. The talented junior slugger is a pure lefthanded hitter who has an excellent eye at the plate. Proof? He finished last season with a whopping 58 walks. He also showed versatility on the bases with 31 stolen bases in 33 attempts. Nunez doesn’t hit for a ton of power, but he’s a guy who, outside of the first few weeks last season, showed a consistent, good approach at the plate. TCU is tough to slow down offensively when he’s on a roll.

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP/OF - Nolan McLean

  Nolan McLean RHP/OF Oklahoma State   2-27-23 - Opening Weekend  - Nolan McLean , RHP/OF, Oklahoma State– The power hitting prospect has shifted from third base to the right field this season where his arm strength/raw power/defense tools profile well. During the Showdown he showed much more plate discipline with six walks against just two strikeouts compared to a 37/107 ratio in 242 at-bats last season. He also blasted a three-run home run to center field to put the Pokes back in the Vandy game, cutting the score to 11-8. It was a loud shot, one that needed earplugs from my seat. McLean is also a power prospect on the mound with a fastball up to 96 and a plus slider. He strong-armed Missouri for two strikeouts in the ninth inning to earn the save in State’s 5-3 win on opening night. I remain much more bullish on his abilities transferring into a big leaguer as a pitcher than hitter. He’s a third round prospect on the mound at this point.   2-19-23 - D1 - Week...
