Official Scouting Report

  • Position Projection

12/20/2024 - Baseball Factory Pirate City Holiday Experience Nicolas continues to develop his overall game, highlighted by improved foot speed, as shown by his best 60 time to date. At the plate, he displays a squared setup and quick hands, working through an aggressive swing path, staying inside the ball with a line-drive approach. As he more efficiently utilizes his lower half, his power will grow. Defensively at first base, Nicolas showcases smooth, fluid actions, reliable footwork around the bag, and clean hands presented out front, moving well laterally to cover a lot of ground. His throws are accurate but will benefit from increased arm strength through a long toss program. Overall, Nicolas has made notable strides and shows promise with continued development.

08/21/2024 - National Showcase - Trenton, NJ Nicolas is a 2026 first baseman who demonstrates strong fundamentals and potential for further development. Defensively, he showcases a good pre-pitch routine and efficient footwork, allowing him to cover lateral ground effectively. His quick release and strong arm, with an arm velocity up to 78 mph, enhance his ability to make accurate throws with carry. His awareness around the bag contributes to his defensive reliability. At the plate, he hits from a crouched position, leveraging raw power and a fast barrel to generate hard contact. His ability to make consistent contact to the pull side is notable, with a speed up to 82 mph reflecting his power potential. Although he shows significant promise, additional development will help refine his skills and unlock his full potential.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
