08/23/2008 - ACR-E - California - 3 Nicholas improved his arm strength and fielding grade. He has a strong frame and moves very well for his size. He showed the best at 3B has quick feet, stays low, and hands work well out front. He has enough arm strength to play the corner. He needs some polish but is athletic enough to make quick improvements. We also saw him catching. He showed his arm strength but he will need to improve footwork to be more projectable behind the plate. Receiving and blocking was strong average. He found the barrel consistently at the plate. Stayed through the ball well, had proper bat angle, and hit several line drives. Would like to see him work on his load and keep some of his weight centered to back. Has a good overall feel hitting. He projects best at 3B at the present time.
