About Ella

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

When pitching I stay calm no matter the count or situation. Even when down in count or bases loaded, I trust the work I have put into lessons with my coaches, catchers, and stay locked in! Don’t get rattled, and win! When hitting I want to understand the game, hit based on the situation to better my team! Whether it’s to move a runner, bunting, or going opposite field, I want to be that girl!

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 10 years old. It has helped me overcome adversity and trust the process that hard work pays off. I want to win but I want to be coachable, and help my team go far!

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

FCA, Nightmares, Beta Club

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Teamwork has been major focus in both academic and extracurricular activities. My parents own a restaurant and I have basically grown up seeing good models or leadership. Watching them delegate tasks, make decisions under pressure, and being able to motivate others.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

When I was ten years old, I was diagnosed with dyslexia. At first, the diagnosis felt like a label that defined what I couldn’t do — reading was slow, spelling felt impossible, and classroom tasks that seemed effortless for others left me frustrated and discouraged. But what began as one of my biggest obstacles eventually became one of my greatest sources of strength.

What type of college are you looking for?

I want to go to a college where I feel like I’m home!

A strikeout-heavy pitcher who has been strong for both her club and her school, Ella Nelms Ella Nelms Ella Nelms RHP/UTL Robbinsville | 2029 NC is poised for a step forward in 2026. Nelms began her freshman high school season with two team wins, facing 24 batters over the course of the day and striking out 18. Nelms has worked with Tennessee pitching coach Megan Rhodes Smith and shares her Robbinsville roots with current Tennessee outfielder Zoie Shuler. She looks to take her experience from both club ball and her time around college coaches into her freshman season with Robbinsville.
