He commanded a traditional 4-pitch mix throughout his outing at the Senior Future Games, with the FB sitting 88-91 MPH getting up to 18” of IVB generating ride up in the zone which got on opponents quickly. His main offspeed offering was the CB sitting 78-81 MPH with up to 2258 RPMs and -9.5” of IVB and HM generating sharp 11/5 movement freezing hitters. The SL sat 82-83 MPH with up to 2236 RPMs and -3.6” of HM which gives it that true gyro/bullet shape. The CH rounds out the arsenal sitting 84-85 MPH with up to -13.2” HM generating armside run and depth. |

Nico Marasco OF / Moon Area, PA / 2027Rankings StateRank: 25 / POS: 6
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound uncommitted outfielder remains uncommitted as one of the best bat to ball prospects in the state. Mechanically at the plate, Nico has a balanced setup with rhythmic hands held at ear-height. During load, he has a loud leg kick that queues the hips and hands to fire in sync as he works short to the ball through a slightly uphill swing path with a barrel that stays in zone and on plane. Defensively, he offers well above average arm strength up to 87 MPH and ran a 7.04 second 60-yard dash giving him the ability to slot nicely into a corner. With his advanced bat-to-ball skills, above-average arm strength, and solid athleticism, Nico presents a well-rounded profile with the tools to make an immediate impact at the next level.
