Scouting report
It's possible the change of scenery will do Nevin some good because while he has fantastic feel to hit, the list of current first baseman with premium contact skills but middling game power is full of players hovering around replacement level. He tracks pitches beautifully and can make quality contact with pitches all over the zone, but most of the damage I saw Nevin do in person while he was with Colorado (and via his spray charts) was to the opposite field. And while it's impressive that he can threaten the right field foul pole, he probably needs to pull the ball with power to profile as either a below-average defensive third or first baseman. If not, then I like his chances to be some kind of four corners role player. His reps at third base dwindled while he was with Colorado and he mostly worked at first base at both the Rockies' and Orioles' alt sites, and played a few games in left field in 2019.
