Drew Nielsen began his first season as a coach for the 2024-2025 season, bringing a strong background in catching and player development. He works closely with the team’s catchers, designing practice plans and implementing his run prevention system.
A former collegiate catcher, Nielsen played five years of college baseball from 2016-2021. He spent three seasons at the University of Sioux Falls (D2) before playing one year at Morningside University (NAIA) and finishing his career at Lakeland University (D3). In 2019, he earned a Gold Glove as the top defensive player in the Metro Summer Collegiate League in Fort Worth, Texas.

With his playing experience, defensive expertise, and analytical approach, Nielsen is excited to help develop Bellevue’s catchers into high-level defenders behind the plate.
