September 9, 2015
Dan Cevette
Director, New York
Name: Nicholas Rivera
High School: Monroe-Woodbury
Position: MIF
Grad Year: 2018
Scouting Report
Lean yet athletic build at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds. Nick showed serviceable foot speed with 7.14 60 time. Adequate left side arm with room for some growth at 73 MPH with and exit velocity of 81 MPH. Offensively Nick showed some juice in his bat, specifically to his pull side. At the plate Nick features a leg kick with some ground gained. Stays behind the ball well with minimal action with the bat barrel during load. Demonstrated aggressive back foot/hip rotation. Keeps hands inside contact and barrel angle above the ball. High finish with hands but with minimal weight transfer. Can handle the good fastball. Projects possibly better at 2B/3B in the long run but made all the plays at SS during games. Defensively Nick is extremely active with his footwork into the ball. Keeps steps choppy yet soft and changes directions well. Tends to field the ball underneath and on heels. Would love to see momentum maintained into fielding position and through throws.
