Nolan
Stevens

at Davis HS - Uncommitted; #14 national rank; Listed 6-foot-3, 210-pounds, he is well-proportioned and looks the part of an elite prospect. Overhand slot, easy compact arm action, smooth athletic delivery with high knee lift, in-line stride with balance through release. FB (86-89 mph) topped at 90 on 2-3 occasions including as late as his 89th pitch in the 6th inning. 7 IP, H (infield single), BB, HBP, 10 K. Flashed ability to create plus run on the arm side as well as control of the glove side, particularly in to RHHs. Cruised with FB around 87-88, occasionally a tick lower while also going to get 89-90 when feeling the need. Highly competitive demeanor and mound presence though stayed in control of his emotions well beyond his 16 years of age. Wide sweeping, slurve-ish SL (76-79 mph) was effective all game for strikes and strikeouts, has depth which got some takes in the zone and swing misses from LHHs both away from them and below the zone. Flashed a CHG in warm-ups but not utilized in game. Seems to be plenty more in the tank as he continues to mature. Went 1-for-3 at the plate (single up the middle), with a hard hit ball (3U) and a K. Takes some aggressive swings, possesses plus bat speed, approach was a bit bigger than he needs, given his natural tools to hit.

Body: 6-3, 210-pounds. Strong, Large frame with plenty of current strength and space to continue adding more at full maturity. Projects to next level.
Hit: LHH. Hands at back shoulder with high back elbow and slight bend in knees. Loads slowly as he hinges and rotates around the back hip allowing him to control forward move. Hips start/stop very well allowing for great direction. Hands stay with the body very well through rotation before extending through the baseball. Feel for the barrel present and understanding of what he does well. Explosive swing able to drive through contact to the pullside/middle of the field. Barrel stays in the zone a long time. 78.3 Max Batspeed, 56% On Plane Efficiency, 22.5 Max Handspeed, 16 gs Max Rotational Acceleration, 93.49 Avg EV, 80% Hard Hit.

Defense: OF: Rushed body a bit during grounders with some times where he worked out of sequence. Best ones allowed his throws to have firm carry online. 1B: Handled the bag fine with ability to keep head down and behind the glove for scoops. Moved with athleticism off the bag attacking the ball.
Run: 7.23 runner in the 60.
