Nicholas
Buchman

Physical: 6’ 160lb C ran an 8.02 laser timed 60-yard dash. Thin and blanket frame has room to add size and strength with time.

Offensively: He starts in a simple shoulder width stance with his barrel rested on his shoulder. He begins by loading his hands and then lifts his front leg to begin his timing mechanism. His barrel stays quiet as he begins to fire the barrel into the hitting zone.  

Defensively: He receives from a new school, kick stand stance, but transitions into a more traditional squatted stance when he throws to bases. He uses crisp movements when he receives, replaces his feet, and makes the throw to the bases. His arm works short from the ear and has a whippy action to it.

6-foot, 160-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and uses a heel-raise stride to begin. Displayed a direct swing path and a middle of the field approach. Registered a bat exit velocity of 75 mph and ran an 8.02 60-yard dash. Showcased improving pop times of 2.35-2.42 on throws of 67 mph from the crouch.

6-foot, 145-pound right-handed hitter begins from a square, slightly bent stance and uses a heel raise to initiate his swing. Showed good hands at the plate with a feel for the barrel and with a more refined lower half, Buchman will see a jump in his 70 mph bat-exit-velocity. Featured soft hands while framing behind the plate. Recorded pop times of 2.45-2.52 on throws of 66 mph from the crouch. Ran an 8.16 60-yard dash.
