03/24/2024 - National Showcase - Manalapan, NJ Nathan continued to showcase his skills with Baseball Factory again on 3/24/2024 in Manalapan NJ. At the plate, he starts in a closed stance & keeps balance throughout his swing. Additionally, does a nice job creating separation in his swing to maintain rhythm in his mechanics & a direct bat path at the plate. His swing will continue to develop nicely as he incorporates his lower 1/2 more & creates more bat speed in his swing. Behind the dish, Nathan sets up in an athletic stance which allows him to present his glove well when receiving the baseball & stays consistent on low pitches keeping his thumb underneath the baseball. Also, Nathan has effective footwork & clean transfer movements on his throwdowns leading him to his best pop time with Baseball Factory to date of a 2.23. In the field at SS, Nathan incorporates pre pitch movements & ability to throw from multiple arm slots. IF mechanics will continue to improve as he gets more reps in the IF working on glove position on groundballs. Overall, Nathan has a strong skill set for his age & continues to improve each time we see him. We look forward to seeing him again soon.
