10/03/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Lake Zurich (Chicago), IL Nate is an athletic C/OF who has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the plate, feet are aggressive and active as he works in line to his target, through a clean transfer / exchange. Pop times showed in the 2.36 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength. He shows a squared setup, tracks well, and sticks balls in the zone. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. In the OF, defensive abilities are well above average as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind and plays, creating momentum to his target. He moves well laterally and utilizes his foot quickness (7.34 60 time) in covering a lot of ground. Throws are accurate with online carry (85 mph velocity) to his target. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing and shows a feel for the barrel. With 2 years to further develop, Nate has potential with time and room to progress his game.
