Pike Liberal Arts’ Drew Nelson will have to make room in his Troy home for a national award.
The Patriot senior left-handed pitcher and outfielder was announced as the winner of the Gatorade Alabama Baseball Player of the Year on Friday for the 2022 season.
His win total, ERA, WHIP, strikeout total, batting average, home runs, triples and slugging percentage all ranked in the top three individually in the AISA. His eight triples were an AISA best. “It’s a huge honor,” Nelson told Al.com on Friday afternoon. “To just know the work I put in and the great candidates I was up against along with the names that have come before me …It’s just really special. I’m humbled by it.”
While he has already signed with Auburn, Nelson indicated there is a chance he could get chosen in next month’s MLB Draft, but he expects to join the Tigers in the fall.
