08/05/2009 - Pirate City World Series - Session 2 Nick continues to show steady improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a near above average runner, at 7.21. Feet are active and aggressive in coming to get and playing through the baseball with his feet and hands. He moves well laterally, displaying range. Arm strength shows some carry and he will benefit by getting on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength with carry. At the plate, hitting abilities have improved now showing solid average abilities. He shows a solid approach with a loose swing and shows a feel for the barrel. He was 2 for 9 at the event.
