Drew Nelson gives Troy a legitimate two-way boost
Nelson has been one of Troy’s most valuable pieces in 2026, combining a .311 batting average with 3-2 pitching record and a team-first two-way role that earned him All-Sun Belt First Team utility honors. At the plate, he brings extra-base pop and dependable run production; on the mound, he’s shown he can start or relieve, giving the Trojans flexibility few players provide. The biggest differentiator is his ability to impact the game in multiple ways, which makes him a strong fit for a team that values lineup versatility and matchup-based roster options.[14][7][10]
