12/09/2012 - College PREP - Sacramento, CA Sean is a talented catcher with a solid build. Defensively behind the plate, he displays a low/athletic base, he has quick footwork and receives with a soft mitt. Blocking, Sean is quick to his knees and works well laterally around the ball in the dirt. Pop times are as low as 1.97, as he gains towards his target and makes strong/accurate throws. As a hitter, Nicholson gets into a square setup with a solid load and good balance. He is aggressive, stays inside the ball and swings with fast bat speed. He gets his lower 1/2 through helping to create pop off of his barrel. Sean is only a 2014 graduate and is a player to keep an eye on.
