Yet another potent right-handed bat to keep tabs on in the 2023 class belongs to C Nick Mardis (Bloomington Central). The 6-foot-1, 205-pound, broad-chested, wide-shouldered Mardis oozed physicality in the box and was on the barrel with authority, averaging a 91.3 mph exit velocity during BP, second best of the event. Mardis stays quiet pre-pitch with his hands set in a strong hitting position and stays direct to the baseball with uphill tendencies. Mardis launched a number of balls over 300 feet, and his best landed at an estimated 348 feet from home.
