08/07/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Wilmington, DE Nicholas is an outstanding two-way prospect in the 2024 class. He recently impressed scouts with his defense, mound presence and ability to drive the baseball. In the field, his 6-foot 6 inch /235 frame is a tremendous target for his defenders. His feet work well around the bag and has soft hands. Can range well (7.57 runner) and arm action is solid on feeds and spins. On the mound, he is an intimidating presence and gets down the hill with ease. Has good life on his FB (81-2) and commanded the zone. Throws both a CB & SL for strikes (CB sat 65, SL sat 71). Has a splotch/change with natural loose actions. From the left side of the plate, he has a solid bat angle to get through the baseball for hard contact. Can hit power line drives from pole to pole. Has bat speed (91 exit velo) and there is more power in the tanks. Scouts feel he will make and impact at the next level.
