11/10/2011 - Pirate City Select Training - 2011 (Pre HS) Nicholas is a 2016 graduate who is a LHP and plays 1B. He throws from a high 3/4 arm slot with loose arm action and backspin. On the mound he showed a balance point, separation was on time, smooth rhythm and his body was in line. It will benefit Nicholas to work on his finish, he has a tendency to be upright as opposed to following through.In the outfield Nicholas displayed active footwork and playable range. He needs to work on his basic fielding position and angles to the ball. At the plate Nicholas has a good aggressive approach but he needs to keep his weight back and use his lower half to generate power as well as adjusting his swing to go out towards the field instead down toward the ground. Nicholas is a very coach-able young man which will serve him well in the future.
