Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/SSPosition Projection

04/28/2013 - College PREP - Mesa (Phoenix), AZ In Nick's most recent Factory outing, he came out as a RHP/SS. On the bump, he throws three pitches with his curve-ball being his most effective pitch with 10/4 shape, while maintaining fastball arm speed. He displays sound mechanics with a solid use of his lower half and a complete finish. His low 3/4 arm slot effects his control and lack of velocity. With a long toss program, Nick should turn into a solid pitcher. At the dish, he has a tall setup and shows flashes of decent bat speed. Complete use of his lower half will improve his hitting and power numbers. Defensively, he has active feet and decent glove work. Playing lower in his fielding position will increase his chances of securing the ball. We believe Nick projects best on the mound, with an ability to compete in the middle of the field.

06/22/2012 - Omaha National World Series - Session 2 Nicholas is a thin RHP and spends some time at second base as well. In the infield he gets in a good fielding position and plays through the ball along with the ability to make accurate throws across the diamond. His defensive skills should continue to develop as he learns to field the ball further out in front of his body. At the plate he has a strong setup and soft stride that allow him to have consistent barrel accuracy. His offensive tools should continue to improve as he learns to quiet his hands and stay square throughout his swing. On the mound he has a balanced and repeatable delivery with the ability to really engage his lower half upon delivering the baseball. His skills on the mound should continue to grow as he learns to maintain consistent arm speed and get more extension over his front leg after releasing each pitch. As a 2014 graduate Nicholas has the opportunity to continue to develop his skills in preparation for the next level.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
