Jimmy Nelson did improve overall during his first full season in the big leagues, but it had its ups and downs. The Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher burst onto the 2015 scene with three great starts in a row, allowing just four runs in 20 IP. He continued to roll until June, in which he racked up a 5.56 ERA over six starts. Nelson bounced back with a 1.64 ERA in July over five starts. Four of those five outings were quality starts while two of those were seven-inning shutouts. In fact, he put together three straight starts with zero runs allowed over 20 2/3 innings pitched. The final two months weren’t nearly as successful, as the 26-year-old finished with a 11-13 record, 4.81 ERA, and 1.29 WHIP. He did have 148 SO over 177 1/3 innings pitched. He’s likely going to be a late-round draft pick this season, and is worth a flier with the hope that he puts together a full season.
