Dodgers RHP Jimmy Nelson has struggled thus far in spring training. That’s probably putting it lightly.
In five appearances, Nelson has managed to get just seven batters out, and has allowed one hit, four earned runs and a shocking 11 walks. He’s also hit a batter.
His WHIP through 2.1 innings is 5.14, while his ERA is a sky-high 15.43. He’s struggled to find the strike zone, and in his most recent outing, it was as bad as ever.
On Sunday, Nelson threw 14 pitches, and just one of them was a strike. He threw 13 balls, walked three batters, hit another and threw two wild pitches.
