Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • LHP/1BPosition Projection

07/27/2021 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 (HS) Niklaus is a coachable LHP/1B prospect who worked hard on his skills during the National World Series at Pirate City. On the mound, Niklaus gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works inline toward the plate and finishes with a controlled landing. Niklaus operates with a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 76mph with sinking action. Breaking ball sits from 57-58mph with 1-7 break. Changeup sits at 66mph as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Finishing with his chest over his front knee can help Niklaus improve his pitch command. In the field, Niklaus shows active footwork with a quick first step. He fields the ball out in front with a firm glove and has a clean exchange. He gets rid of the ball quickly and makes accurate throws to his target. Niklaus can field ground balls more efficiently by getting into a lower fielding position. At the plate, this LHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He gets into a small load and drives through well with his lower half. He works through a compact swing and produces loud line drives to all fields. Getting more extension through the ball can help Niklaus produce more pop off the barrel. Overall, Niklaus is a solid prospect who has the potential to further build upon his skills on the field.

03/28/2021 - All-In Membership - Windsor (Madison), WI Niklaus is an athletic LHP/1B who has a promising future on the diamond. On the mound, delivery is sound / repeatable as he shows good tempo through a strong balance point, allowing his arm action to work quick and free to the plate. He shows a solid mound presence on the bump. Fastball shows a range of 76-78 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 2/8 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At 1B, defensive abilities are solid as he displays smooth, athletic actions. Feet are active as he displays proper foot work around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry (84 mph velocity) to his target. At the plate he shows a tall setup. He stands in with a solid/strong base and has fluid rhythm to load. Barrel delivery is short/quick (82 mph exit velocity) as he connects with gap to gap pop. With 2 years to further develop, Niklaus has potential and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
