NICHOLAS
SPAVENTA

Physical: Strong and thickly built 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame with a well proportioned build. 7.33 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with slight bend in the backside, the weight favored the right leg as the hands worked with minor rhythm by the ear. Utilized a lift-and-replace stride in order to deliver a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone, the lower half was extremely adjustable and athletic, repeatedly starting the swing and getting the hands on-plane early/often. Was able to hit the ball where it was pitched regardless of quadrant, showcased a gap to gap approach during batting practice. Recorded a top bat-exit velocity of 94 mph according to Trackman Baseball. 

Defensively: The primary third baseman flashed quality footwork at the hot corner while continuously getting around the ball hit to his right side. Played downhill through the fielding window while featuring a soft glove hand that worked out in front. Choppy, rangy actions to the glove hand side while releasing from an accurate, low ¾ slot across the diamond. INF - 77 mph
