05/19/2024 - National Showcase - Monterey Park (Los Angeles), CA Nicholas is a 2026 middle infielder out of Mira Costa High School. Athleticism is well above average as he ran the 60 yard dash in 6.94 seconds and jumped 8'8" in the standing broad jump. His defensive acumen is above average as he has a quick first step, moves effortlessly from side-to-side and is easy with his glove to hand transfer. Arm strength came in at 81mph but the arm plays even better than that velocity due to the carry he produces on his throws. He went 81mph off the tee. During batting practice, he hit the ball hard to the middle of the field consistently and creates backspin that causes the ball to carry a bit. Showed gap to gap power. With two more years of high school in front of him, we expect Nicholas to flourish on the diamond.
