01/18/2013 - 2013 Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Nicholas is a thin, athletic, RHP with good stuff. On the hill, Nicholas has a long / loose arm action, he works to his balance point well, and he keeps his shoulders level. He has smooth separation, good direction toward home, and he is in the zone with his pitches. Nicholas touched 91 MPH during his time on the mound. Mound effectiveness can improve with more lower body and a better finish. At the plate, Nicholas has an open stance, a proper load and he swings in good rhythm. He gets his lower 1/2 and needs to shorten up and add bat speed for hitting to spike.
