He has elite speed that plays both in the field and on the bases, and has an average to better arm but it is accurate making it play even better. Arjun Nimmala, SS, Strawberry Crest HS (FL) Smooth actions, gliding feet, and plenty of arm, Nimmala will stick on the left side of the infield, although third vs. short is still up in the air as there is plenty of room for Nimmala to fill out.
