The Dodgers have signed Santa Barbara JC’s Nick Putnam as an undrafted free agent, I’m told. Putnam is a 6-foot-7 righthanded pitcher who started his college career at UCSB as a catcher. Up to 95 mph. Was committed to Loyola Marymount.
Congrats to Nick Putnam on his commitment to Loyola Marymount University. Big time JUCO arm heading to Los Angeles to pitch for the Lions. Excited for the Putnams! #LMU#GoLions#WCC#Committed#OBC@njput66
🎥’25 Draft Eligible RHP Nick Putnam 6ft7 205lb @njput66 has a chance to be one of the most sought after draft prospects. Strikingly similar build to Tyler Glasnow… was a catcher for past two years previously. Brings a catching perspective to the pitching mound… @BaseballAmerica@BenBadler#BDC#BDCcollegeBall#BaseballDataCombine
I am very excited to announce my commitment to play baseball at Butler University! I will be pursuing a masters degree in Strategic Communication. Thank you @BTBeem24@rosslearnard@ButlerUBaseball for the opportunity. Go Bulldogs!
I would like to thank Santa Clara University for a great four years. I have entered the transfer portal and I am excited for the next chapter in my life.

You may remember his brother Jake from last summer's team... Let's welcome @njput66 from @UCSB_Baseball to Wenatchee for this summer! #MeetTheSox
Putnam hit .253 with two doubles, two home runs and 16 RBI in 27 games as a senior at San Ramon Valley High School in 2022.
@njput66 First collegiate summer league game today, Kings vs Blues. Awesome atmosphere with 1,400 fans. Nice 💣 to start off the summer. @West_CoastKings
‘22 Nick Putnam (@WERSR) gives one a ride to LCF for a two-run blast. Impressive strength & separation from the #UCSB commit. Power bat in the middle of a lineup. #PGHS
So happy for this kid. One of the hardest workers I’ve ever had. Dealt with arm injuries that kept him off the field for over a year.
Now throwing absolute seeds!
Proud of your perseverance @njput66
