01/18/2019 - Baseball Factory Spring Training at Historic Dodgertown Nicolas is an athletic and talented 2023 2-way prospect that was eager to learn. At SS, Nicolas is on time with his preps step, he presents a low/early glove, and has a good first step to the ball. He has a clean exchange, a strong arm from, and throws from multiple arm angles. At the plate, Nicolas starts in an athletic stance, he loads his hands back into the drive position, and creates backside drive. He's on time with the fastball, hits off a firm front side, and drives the ball to all fields. He needs to continue to attack the inside part of the ball and stay balanced through contact. On the bump, Nicolas gathers over his backside, rides his back leg toward the plate, and separates on time. He works north to south in his delivery and has confidence in his fastball. Nicolas is a gamer and we hope to see his progress in the future.
