12/20/2023 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 1 Nicholas continues to impress with his baseball abilities at the Pirate City Christmas tournament. At 3B, defensive abilities are solid as he displays smooth / fluid actions. He shows active footwork as he attacks ball, working to square ball up. Glove action is soft and presents out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he shows an open setup. Hands are quick (82 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 77 mph. Fastball shows range of 76-77 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. Stock on the mound will continue to increase as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
