Nelson’s power pitching gives Brewers key weapon

Big and strong at 6-foot-6, 245 pounds, Jimmy Nelson has a power fastball with great sink that induces swings and misses as well as ground balls. His physical presence can be intimidating, pitching downhill and hiding the ball well. At the age of 25, he is not likely to grow beyond his current frame. He takes an aggressive, no nonsense approach on the mound, using his size and stature as a weapon, an ally.
