INF/RHP Aidan Nicholson (Liberty, 2028) is one of the top two-way prospects in the state’s sophomore class and continued to show why in this look. A standout last summer at our Central Super Sophomore Games, Nicholson is packed with physicality in a 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame that possesses advanced raw strength for his age. That strength was on full display Sunday as the sophomore posted a 100.1 mph exit velocity, 87 mph infield velocity, and ran his fastball up to 86 mph on the mound while also turning in a 3.90 30-yard dash. Nicholson should be a high follow this spring for one of the Kansas City metro’s top teams.
