01/18/2013 - Baseball Factory National Spring Training at Pirate City During his time at Pirate City, Nathan showed on the mound as well as at 3B. On the hill, FB now tops out at 71 mph and shows some run. He works in-line toward the plate, reaches a tall balance point, and attacks the zone. More lower 1/2 drive and increased arm strength will help arm velocity the continue to climb. Defensively at 3B, he works to get into a square fielding position and makes the plays. To help defensive abilities improve, he needs to play lower and through the ball toward his target. As a hitter, Nathan gets into a good loaded position. He swings on a level path, making square contact as he went 2 for 6 at the event with 2 singles and a walk. Soltau is a coachable player and will continue to improve with hard work.
