Ryne Nelson not taking pitching role for granted in 2026
“I feel the exact same coming into camp this year as I did last year,” Nelson said. “I think the second you get comfortable, and you think that things are going to be easy or whatnot, you start to let what got you here slip. I’m just coming in, getting good work in, and trying to be the best version of myself. And whatever role I end up in, it’s not going to be because I didn’t work hard enough. I’m gonna do everything I can to put myself in the best position to succeed.”
