09/23/2012 - College PREP - Baltimore, MD Nicholas is a versatile player with a good feel for the game. He can play all over the field, though he looks most comfortable in the infield. He reads balls well off the bat and has a good first step that enhances his range. His hands are sound and he uses his feet to play through routine balls. Though he could field the ball further out in front, he keeps his momentum going to the target and follows his throws. At the plate Nicholas has good hand-eye coordination and makes consistent contact. He is most comfortable on balls he can hit to the pull-side, and as he gets more physical he will be a very productive hitter. Overall, Nicholas is a young player to watch, as we see him making a lot of progress over the next year.
