10/18/2017 - Arizona Junior Fall Classic Nate continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities with the makings of a special type player at the next level. At 1B, defensive abilities have improved as he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is soft / sure and he consistently showed the ability to pick balls out of the dirt, saving throws. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, power potential is now at a pro level through an athletic / open setup. He only showed as a RHH at the event. Hands are quick (94 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the baseball, utilizing all fields with gap-to-gap pop. Barrel accuracy is a plus with baseball coming off his bat differently when centered. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great attitude and is very coachable as he works hard to be the best player he can be.
