12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Holiday Classic (HS) Nicholas is a 2028 third baseman and right-handed pitcher from Austin, TX, who improved his skill set at the Baseball Factory West Coast Holiday Camp. On the mound, he works from the stretch with a good feel for pitching and remains composed under pressure. His breaking ball is a strikeout pitch, and in two innings of work, he struck out three and allowed no hits. As a left-handed hitter, Nicholas starts with a tall, open stance and gets his lower half through with a flat barrel path and strong top hand, recording a single during the live games. At third base, he showcases smooth footwork, good body control, and a quick transfer, making accurate throws with good carry. As a freshman, Nicholas has plenty of time to continue his development and growth.
