01/20/2020 - College PREP - Bradenton (Tampa), FL Nicholas is a tall and solid 2021 2-way prospect. In the OF, Nicholas is on time with his prep step, he plays through ground balls and works behind ground balls. He gets good jumps on the ball, he covers the gaps, and makes the routine play. At the plate, Nicholas starts in an open stance, he has a simple load, and gets his hands back into the drive position. He has good hands and looks to drive the ball through the middle part of the field. On the bump, Nicholas gathers over the rubber, he separates on time, and keeps his eyes on his target. He finds a balance point and rides his back side down hill. He throws his fastball down in the zone, he has good depth on his curveball, and he throws his change up down in the zone. Nicholas will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
