06/18/2021 - Baseball Factory All-State Tournament (HS) Nicolas continues to shine on the diamond. He did show on the mound for the first time at the event. At the plate, he shows a tall setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) as he squares the ball up consistently driving it on a line. Defensively, feet are active as he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean and presents out front. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 74-80 mph with cutting action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.
