11/08/2012 - Baseball Factory Training & Competition in Arizona (Ages 12-14) Nick is a young 1B/3B who showed great body language all week at camp. You can really tell he loves the game by his attitude and work ethic. In the field, his hands are clean with good angles and the ability to play through the ball. He will need to work on his overall foot speed to improve with the quickness of his route. Agility drills (ladder/cone/hurdles) will help with this. At the plate, Nick does a good job with his load, getting his hands back in a strong position. He shows good hip action with a firm front side at contact. His rhythm is on time but can benefit by getting more extension through the ball. He can also focus on landing square with his front foot during his load making sure he is keeping it closed through his swing. Overall, Nick is a great kid and with the ability to listen which will take him very far.
