Nottingham is a 6-foot-5, 200-pound righthander with great projection who entered the 2025 spring as one of the most interesting arms in the Northeast. Nottingham has a slightly unconventional delivery with a stabbing, extended arm action that leads to a higher three-quarters slot. He throws a fastball in the low 90s and has touched 95, with impressive life that led to a lot of whiffs on the 2024 circuit. Nottingham’s velocity was inconsistent during his spring season, and his overall performance wasn’t what scouts expected to see, but there’s still a chance for a plus fastball in the future. Nottingham also has a chance for an average or better slider. His best breaking balls are hard benders in the low 80s, but the pitch tends to get a bit slurvy at times in the upper 70s. Nottingham also throws a 78-83 mph changeup that could become a solid third piece to his arsenal. Nottingham will need to improve his control to become an average strike-thrower. While Nottingham requires some projection and patience, he has the tools to be an impact arm. He’s committed to Georgia but fits in the 4-7 round range.

Nottingham is a lean righthander with an ideal pitcher’s frame at 6-foot-5, 200 pounds with plenty of room to add strength and mass. Nottingham’s delivery is a bit unorthodox but scouts were impressed with his strikes and swing-and-miss stuff during the 2024 circuit, where he pitched in the low 90s, touched 95 and mixed in a low-80s slider and upper-70s changeup.
