2022 Jr. National Showcase  
James Nesta is a 2024 RHP/OF with a 6-5 205 lb. frame from Huntersville, NC who attends Hough. Lean, high-waisted frame that oozes projection with easy length throughout the body. Primary right-handed pitcher, longer three-quarter slot with some hip coil at the top. Quick arm action. Fastball reached 91 mph with some cutting action in on the hands of righties. Stays on top of it with good plane. Flashed feel for a tighter curveball with tight vertical depth out of the hand. Also mixed in a high-70s changeup that can kill spin and keep its shape. Secondary outfielder, charges hard and pulls it down. Throws packed with intent and carry up to 95 mph and lived low-90s. Arm strength stands out Right-handed hitter, showed quality bat speed and strength with hard liners to the pull side. Hands work quick through the zone and generate backspin. Huge two-way potential and upside with room for more in the frame. Very good student.
