08/05/2012 - College PREP - Council Bluffs (Omaha), IA Nick is an athletic, average sized 2nd baseman who will graduate in 2013. At 2B, Nick has soft hands, active feet, and he fields in a low / athletic position. He fields in good rhythm, works the double play well, and throws with a short arm action with consistency to his target. Added arm strength will help defense get better. At the plate, Nick has a square set-up, good balance, and fast bat speed. He can work the ball gap-to-gap and he attacks the ball aggressively. Hitting can improve by letting the ball travel and shortening his swing.
