01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Nicholas is a tall, lean, athletic LHP with a bright upside. He has excellent presence on the mound and shows the ability to dominate hitters. Nick has a loose body, quick upper 1/2, and easy actions. He repeats his delivery well, throws on a downhill plane, and stays in rhythm. If Nick can avoid rushing with runners on, and widen his base, pitching abilities can further improve. At the plate, Nick has good balance and bat speed. He has a good set-up, level swing, and gets good extension to the baseball. A shorter more compact swing, should allow for Nick to further improve his overall hitting and power grades.
