The 6-foot-3, 190-pound projectable arm has slowly been climbing up the board since breaking into the rankings in September. Quick, loose arm that works up to over the top slot coming almost from behind righty batter. High effort, drop and drive towards the plate. In September, Nephew was 85-87 at the LakePoint Fall Invitational and had a strong start going a CG, 12-K performance against rival Riverdale in his only start this high school season. Tremendous amount of natural cut on the fastball, much more in the tank. Mixes an upper-60s 12/6 curveball with proper shape and depth. Developing feel for changeup at 67-70 with mix of fade and occasional cut.
