Lead Story

Nelson enjoyed a monster year for the Seminoles, posting a .330 batting average with 23 home runs and 66 RBIs. Nelson led the country in both of those statistics for a large portion of the year.

This past season, Nelson became the first FSU player to hit 20 home runs since Posey himself in 2008. Nelson was also named ACC Player of the Year. Previously the Johnny Bench Award, Nelson joined Posey as the only Seminoles to take home the honor.
