Elias Nelson '17 Recruiting Profile

My collegial goals for baseball are to make a positive impact as a team player at the highest competition level as possible.  I have been seen as a leader during my high school career. I am very coachable and willing to make adjustments for the betterment of the team. I committed myself to baseball throughout my high school career both on and off season. Outside of my season play I have attended: the University of North Dakota Prospect Camp, the Oregon State Beavers Prospect Camp, Pitching Camp and participated in Hitting League with the Hitter's Club in Billings, MT, and preseason work through the Ball Yard in Fargo, ND with a focus on hitting and pitching. At present time my most notable accomplishment was being selected as the MVP in the Bellgrade Wood Bat Tournament during the summer of 2015. 

I put a high level of effort into the work I do whether it is sports related, academic, extra curricular, through my church programs, or my summer employment. I will continue to put the same hard work and commitment into my education as a college athlete, striving to best serve team as well as my learning. My school interests are in Computer Sciences but I have yet to determined what specific pathway at this time. 

Being from small town USA, my school of choice would be a small school. My interest at this current time are either a Junior College or an NAIA school. However, I would be open to playing at any level.
