Welcome to the Majors, Ryne Nelson.
Some Quick Basics
Ryne Nelson is a 24-year-old right-handed starter out of the University of Oregon. He was selected by the Diamondbacks in the second round of the 2019 draft, going 56th overall. He was actually the team’s fourth overall pick that year, with Corbin Carroll being their first, followed by Brennan Malone (since traded to the Pirates) and then Drey Jameson (currently in AA Amarillo). The team’s first selection after Nelson was Tommy Henry.
It is September, 2022. Despite losing a season or more of development due to COVID, injuries, and other fiascos (both major and minor), the class of 2019 is making a big showing for the Snakes down the stretch.
