A high school dropout, Nash was discovered by the Devil Rays while playing in a semi-professional league in Sorrento, Louisiana. His life story seemed so improbable that baseball executives at first thought Nash was a hoax, similar to Sidd Finch. Despite his natural ability, compared to Babe Ruth,[1] and the fictional Roy Hobbs character from The Natural, Nash's legal troubles shortened his professional career.[2]
