01/13/2017 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Nick continues to show a promising future on the diamond. At the plate he shows an athletic setup. Hands are quick, generating bat speed to and through the baseball, creating extension. He is aggressive and attacks balls and has strength in his swing with gap to gap pop. Power will increase as he works to utilize his lower half more efficiently. Behind the plate, feet are active as he gains ground and works through a clean / transfer exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times showed in the 2.00 range. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Hands are soft as he lets the ball travel and tracks well, sticking in the zone. He shows off his athletic abilities through the blocking process as he is a wall behind the plate.
