Riley Nelson brings proven two-way value and strikeout punch to Saint Louis
Nelson arrives at Saint Louis as a high-upside **pitcher/first baseman** with a track record of impact on both sides of the ball: in her 2024 high school season, she went 18-0 with a 1.62 ERA, 184 strikeouts and a no-hitter, while also hitting .303 with 32 RBI; that mix of power, poise and run prevention is exactly what makes her valuable. [2] She also earned major all-state and all-conference honors, suggesting a competitive edge and consistent production under pressure. [2]
