12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Nathaniel continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. In the OF, he displays smooth fluid actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He needs to work to get behind ball to play through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a tall setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive 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. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 53 mph. Fastball showed a range of 51-53 mph. Breaking ball displays 12/6 shape with loose spin and downward break. Getting on a long toss program to develop more arm strength will aid in improving stock on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best he can be.
