Vanderbilt’s 6-6 freshman righty is flashing rotation upside with swing-and-miss stuff
Nadeau has emerged as a real weapon for Vanderbilt in 2026, pairing a big 6-6 frame with a fastball that has reportedly touched 95 mph and a slider/changeup mix that generates whiffs. Sources describe him as calm, collected, and unusually advanced in his pitch craft for a freshman, which helps explain why he has quickly earned a meaningful role and posted 62 strikeouts with a 5.85 ERA and a 2-3 record this season. If you want a high-upside starter with size, poise, and bat-missing traits, he fits the profile.
