Nelson Rada
VenezuelaOF
Notes:
Born: Aug. 24, 2005. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 168.
If Rada had been born eight days later, he would be in next year's class instead, so he's one of the youngest players who will sign this year. Rada stood out playing for Venezuela at the U-15 World Cup Americas Qualifier in September 2019 in Mexico. He was 5-foot-9 early on, but he's the son of a former professional basketball player in Venezuela and has grown a few inches leading up to his signing date. He's an instinctive player, especially in center field where he gets good reads off the bat with a quick first step and at least solid-average speed. Rada has a fairly short stroke from the left side with a good eye for the strike zone and mostly gap power that has trended up as he's gotten stronger.
