Nicholas Genese: LHP/1B, (2025) Austin Prep, MA. 6-foot-1, 210-pound mature projectable build. Above average and  projectable at the plate, the left-handed hitter was ranked 2nd with an exit velocity of 91 mph. (69.3 mph bat speed average). (21.7 mph hand speed average). Setup included a small load and a balanced wide stance. Bat speed is developing, shows a flat long swing plane and good extension on his finish. Produced loud contact and found lots of barrels. Aggressive gap to gap approach. In the infield, had developing hands, a clean natural exchange, and developing footwork. Movements laterally were developing and he fields the ball out front. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a short arm action and a high ¾ slot. Projectable and capable on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a short arm action while showing consistent arm speed. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Balance is tall point with an in line shoulders in his delivery. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 76-77 mph; shows running action and command arm side around the zone. (Max spin 1945; Avg 1866). His changeup (71-72) has gradual fading action and arm side command. His slider (70-71) has glove side around the zone control and slurvey action. (Max spin 1970; Avg 1918).

5-foot-11, 190-pound left-handed hitting first baseman and left-handed pitcher. The approach in the infield is solid as he has a good feel around the bag and showed a reliable glove. The arm is clean, throwing 71 mph across the diamond. The bat has an exit velocity of 82 mph. The setup is wide in base and the path to the baseball is flat. The front foot has a small pick up and put down of the front foot as the ball approaches. On the mound, the fastball sat 67-69 mph. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4. The lift has a bounce to it at the top, small coil of the hip and he goes into foot strike. I like his skill set.
