12/04/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Highland Park (DFW), TX Nicholas is a SS/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2023. Medium frame lean build with strength present and room to add throughout. In the infield, showed good agility, with efficient footwork, and has good hand/eye coordination. He shows good lateral range as works he works to center the baseball and fields from an athletic/square fielding position. Fields with his hands out front, with a clean transfer, and has a loose arm stroke. He made on-line throws from a high 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity up to 87mph across diamond. Showed good touch on his DP feeds. On the mound, he separates his hands on-time and works with good direction down the mound. Has a clean arm stroke and keeps his fingers behind the baseball. He attacks hitters with his FB that sat 75-76mph that he keeps down, an 11/5 shaped slider, and a changeup with tailing action and plus command. Nicholas needs to adjust his grip on his breaking ball for better command and spin. A right-handed hitter, he hits from an upright and even stance. Gets hands separated, with good bat angle at contact, and gets extended through the baseball. He showed ability to get on-plane early as he sprayed balls into both gaps with a bat exit velocity up to 71mph. With another year of continued growth and development, we foresee Nicholas making huge strides on the baseball field.
