Nadel was a senior at La Salle in 2020 and will pitch for the Navs before using his final year of college eligibility as a graduate student. The Winchester native and Lawrence Academy product received his first action in two years as an Explorer and struck out a total of three batters over a pair of inning-long appearances.

Nadel is a two-time St. Louis Metro Collegiate League All-Star who helped the St. Louis Kats to that league’s championship in 2019 and then finished last summer on the NECBL’s nationally-ranked Martha’s Vineyard Sharks. He began his college career at Bentley University as a sprinter on the track and field team before returning to the diamond at Maryville University.
