10/06/2010 - Arizona Fall Invitational - 2010 Nicholas played SS and RHP during his time at the Arizona Fall Invitational. At SS, Nicholas has soft / playable hands, he moves well laterally, and throws accurately with carry to his target. He is a good athlete with pretty solid defensive skills. Better body control and improved angles to the ball should help abilities further improve. On the mound, Nicholas stays over the rubber well and works down in the zone. He has good balance, nice separation, and he gets his CB over the plate for strikes. Increased velocity and work on his CH will help mound effectiveness get better. Offensively, Nicholas has good hands and a quick bat. He can put the ball in play and shows some pop to the pull side. If Nicholas can improve his balance and track the ball better, offensive grades can spike.
