Telvin Nash
Pos. B-T HT WT High School Hometown Commitment Birthdate
1B/OF R-R 6-1 237 Griffin Griffin, Ga. Kennesaw State 2/20/1991
BA scouting report
Head's biggest rival for top prep hitter this spring was Telvin Nash,
a monstrous first baseman at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds. Nash
runs below-average
but isn't a slug, having played third base at times next to former prep
teammate Tim Beckham, the shortstop drafted No. 1 overall last year. Nash
has as much power as anyone in the state, with
some scouts giving him a 70
grade for his raw power on the 20-80 scale.
He has strength, leverage and
good enough bat speed, but he's not considered an easy sign. He's committed
to Kennesaw State and could come off the board around the fifth round to a
team that believes he'll consistently tap into his power.
PG scouting report
Nash garnered a lot of attention from scouts a year ago when his Griffin
High teammate Tim Beckham went on to become the No. 1 pick in the draft.
The powerfully-built Nash is a completely-different type of player than
the flashy, athletic Beckham.
He can generate significant raw power
already, and yet there's still projection in his body to get even bigger
and stronger.
Nash entered the spring season as a light follow, but has since jumped up
draft boards of many teams.
He takes a vicious cut in generating his power,
but some scouts believe his power will translate easily to wood, and do so
quickly as he has a short path to the ball. The pitching he has faced in
high school, admittedly, is not close to the caliber he'll face in even
the lowest rung of the minor leagues, so
there will likely be an adjustment
period ahead of him.
Scouts may not even have been aware of Nash were it not for Beckham as
Griffin High was long representative of the high schools in the southern
suburbs of Atlanta. For years, it was a powerhouse in football and sent
many athletes to the NFL, but there was very little production in baseball.
But Beckham may have changed all that in becoming the top pick of the
Tampa Bay Rays a year ago. Now, the first baseman Beckham used to throw to
growing up is in line to go in the 5th-7th rounds.
Nash also
has a solid-average arm and he played both first base and the
outfield in high school.
It's possible he will be sent out to play right
field in pro ball, but that may be problematical as Nash is already a well
below-average runner who figures to get even slower as he gets bigger.
Surely a factor in his favor that will encourage a team to draft him early
is that Nash has indicated he is very signable
