Peyton Nelson brings steady bat-to-ball pop and veteran versatility to Bradley
In the 2026 season, Peyton Nelson has been a reliable infield presence for Bradley, batting .233 with a .594 OPS while showing early-season contact skills, a perfect fielding percentage in limited reporting, and the kind of base-running savvy that fits a grinder’s profile[2][5]. Bradley’s staff also singled out his “terrific bat to ball skills” and “versatile defender” traits, while noting he arrived as a graduate transfer with prior production and a strong pedigree, including becoming Charleston Southern’s all-time hits leader with 147 before the move[4][6].
