06/17/2024 - College World Series Experience - Session 1 Nicholas continues to shine on the diamond. On the mound, he works through a balance point, allowing his arm to work loose and free to the plate. Fastball shows a range of 71-73 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. Slider is harder with tight spin and short break. Control is solid as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and develops off speed stuff. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
