08/12/2008 - College PREP - Wilmington, DE Nic is a physical looking catcher with an accurate arm. His exchange needs to quicken which will start with his feet. Rhythm between lower half and top half are part of that equation. He is firm on the catch and deadens the ball well. He tends to lose ground on that ball in the dirt. Again, lower half needs to quicken to make him more effective on the block. His has some batspeed and good balance at the plate. His bat path is level, but he doesn't use his lower half and tends to cut off the swing. He has some feel for the barrel, and some life in it, too. As his extension improves and he learns to incorporate his lower half, he should have a chance to drive the ball consistently.
