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 　-ANUP SINHA --
