08/24/2014 - College PREP - Farmingville (Long Island), NY Nicholas is a young, lean 1B that will graduate in 2017. Defensively, he presents his hands well out in front and displays proper footwork around the bag. He needs to attack balls more and increase foot quickness to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared/balanced setup. Hands are loose and work to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields. Hitting grade will continue to improve as he works to get stride foot down sooner to work on time. Power numbers will increase as he learns to use his lower half more. With 3 years to further develop, Nicholas has abilities with time and room to improve.
