10/01/2023 - National Showcase - Sonoma, CA Nicholas is a solid, strong catcher who is a prospect on the diamond. At the plate is where he shows best, displaying excellent hitting/power potential through a squared setup. Hands are quick (85 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Pop times shows in the 2.00 range. With 2 years to further develop, Nicholas has potential and will get looks from collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
