Strawberry Crest shortstop ready for MLB draft

DOVER, Fla. — Strawberry Crest High School senior shortstop Arjun Nimmala is projected to be drafted in the first round of the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft. “The way the ball comes off his bat, the way it sounds coming off his bat, is definitely different from people his age,” Strawberry Crest head coach Eric Beattie said. Baseball was not Nimmala’s first sport; in fact, it was soccer and cricket.
