Nick Koehn C/C

10/07/2018 - College PREP - Trenton, NJ Nick is a solid, strong catcher who has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the dish, he utilizes his feet well in working in line to his target through a clean transfer / exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times show a range of 2.07-2.35 with accuracy and zip (84 mph velocity) on his throws. Time will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. He displays a soft glove and sticks balls well in the zone. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering all balls out front. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting / power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. He shows a feel for the barrel with the baseball exploding off the bat when centered. Nick has a lot of potential and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
