2024 Summer Main Event Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Kanon Nelson is a 2026 OF/RHP/UT with a 6-0 195 lb. frame from Buford, GA who attends Buford. Strong athletic build, pretty mature physically. Switch-hitter at the plate. Advanced as a left handed hitter with nice rhythm and balance, has present bat speed from this size, turns over the barrel well from a even base. Same set up from the right side but less bat speed with choppier disconnected swing at present. 6.94 runner in the sixty. Primary outfielder on defense, still developing confidence in his actions through the ball, has some arm strength and makes accurate throws. Took a turn on the mound, works from a standard side step delivery with a 3/4's arm slot, stays on line well and repeats his mechanics. Fastball was in the lower 80's and topped out at 84 mph, mostly straight with occasional arm side life. Curveball showed good shape and depth, change up had some fade with good arm speed. Has some talent on the mound to develop in addition to his bat and athleticism. Very good student. Named to the Summer Main Event Showcase Top Prospect List.
