01/12/2024 - Baseball Factory Spring Training in Sarasota Nikolas is a 2027 1B/RHP who showcased his skills at the BF Spring Training in Sarasota. At 1B he was coachable with a willingness to learn a new position. He worked to keep the ball in front of him. Shows a loose arm stroke in back and throws from a 3/4 arm slot forward. This right-handed pitcher has a good frontside and picks up his target early. He has a controlled landing and finishes in an athletic position. He attacks hitters with a FB that topped out at 62mph with plus command, a 10/4 shaped breaking ball, and a developing changeup. In 2 innings of work, Nikolas gave up 2 soft singles and struck out 1 batter. At the plate he hits from a tall and closed stance. Shows middle of the field approach and is centered at contact. In live game action he reached base 2 times on 2 walks. We look forward to seeing him at another event in the near future.
