05/21/2023 - National Showcase - Little Elm, TX Nicholas is a 2026 RHH SS with an athletic, thin frame at 5'10" 160 pounds. In the field, he shows off active, efficient feet and covers ground easily, taking good angles to the baseball.

His exchange is quick and he has a short arm action, making consistent throws across the diamond with a plus arm that recorded a max raw velo of 89 MPH. He also excels on double play balls, making clean flips and following them to the bag. At the plate, he starts in an athletic stance and gets an on-time stride with a good load. He does a great job of keeping his balance centered and shows smooth rhythm throughout with a firm frontside. He flashes some serious bat speed and gets good extension on his swing, making hard consistent contact with a max exit velo of 90 MPH. He projects as a gap-to-gap hitter that should continue to develop his power.
