    Nelubowich has an athletic build at 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds and played volleyball and basketball in high school, in addition to being on the 2009 Canadian junior national team. He was a 14th-round pick by the Mariners in 2009 and has improved each year for the Cougars. He has a line-drive-oriented lefthanded swing and below-average power. He doesn't strike out a lot but doesn't draw many walks, either. That's a problem for scouts, as he will either have to play third base or, more likely, left field, which will put a lot of emphasis on his bat. The team that takes him will be betting on the fact that as a Canadian multi-sport athlete he still has some projection left, even though he's a 22-year-old redshirt junior.
