06/06/2010 - College PREP - Troy (Albany), NY Nathan showed improvements in the OF during his workout in Albany. He is a lean, athletic JR, that hits from the left side. In the OF, Nathan has good hands and footwork, and is aggressive to the baseball. He plays through the ball well, has quick feet, and he gets rid of the ball quickly. Nathan has a loose arm that is accurate to his target. Defensive abilities can improve if Nathan can avoid drifting, develop a better front side lead, and add arm strength. At SS, Nathan has a good set-up, soft hands, and he uses 2 hands when fielding. He moves well laterally, has a good exchange, and he turns double plays quickly. If Nathan can start in a lower fielding position and avoid standing up when throwing, abilities at SS can improve. Offensively, Nathan has good bat speed and barrel accuracy. He can spray the ball to all fields and he puts the ball in play. A looser grip, better stride, and a more level swing could help improve already solid offensive numbers.
