07/08/2019 - Baseball Factory Cleveland All Star Experience (Ages 14-18) Niko continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has really improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. In the OF, defensive abilities has improved as he displays smooth actions. He takes a quick first step and moves lightly on the balls of his feet. He takes proper routes / angles but needs to work to get behind to play through with momentum to his target. Range is a plus as reads balls well off the bat and covers a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows an open setup. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
