Nicholas
Moretto

2024 Nicholas Moretto continues to show improvement every time he steps on the field. At a projectable 6-foot-4, 160-pounds, Nicky excels on both sides of the baseball. His versatile playstyle and confident hands mix in well with his whippy bat and consistent hard contact to all parts of the field. A gutsy play at SS along with two hits and an XBH shows a lot of potential in the growth of his game. Definitely a player to keep an eye on.

Physical: 6-4, 160 pounds; Long, wiry build. 7.13 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a short swing path with a two handed finish.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 88 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; uses prep hop while showing active feet. Hands are out in front while funneling to the hip before transfer. Moderate arm circle from a low 3/4 arm slot. INF - 76 MPH.

Moretto has improved every time we’ve seen him this year. A projectable 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame looks right in a uniform. In the box he works to the pull side with a long bat path through the zone. When he catches it out front, he creates loft and has power potential. On the infield, he works with clean hands with long range. Moretto continues to develop and is a guy that will be a close follow next season.

Moretto, 6-foot-2, 160-pounds, was easily one of the biggest standouts we had in Montreal. The tall, lengthy middle infielder shows clean actions on the dirt with clean hands and an arm that works across the diamond. At the dish, Moretto creates leverage and is able to get the ball in the air with loud, consistent contact to his pull-side with a 88 mph EV.  Moretto is a projectable middle infielder that schools should be keeping tabs on going forward.
