LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 National Academic Showcase
Nicholas Watts is a 2019 RHP/1B with a 6-2 185 lb. frame from Tampa, FL who attends Carrollwood Day. Large frame with a lean build and wiry strength. Frame projects to support additional strength. Primary right handed pitcher with a side step to high leg lift delivery. Creates slight hip coil at gather and lands in line with the plate. Compact arm circle at take back and released from a lower three-quarters arm slot. Fastball came out of hand cleanly generating shorter run back to arm side in the low 80's, topped at 83 miles per hour. Curveball showed 12/6 shape with solid spin and hard depth to the bottom of the zone when staying on top of offering. Maintains arm speed with a changeup offering that produced occasional run to arm side in the low 70's. Consistently looked to attack the bottom of the zone while displayed developing feel for the edges of the plate. Excellent student as well.
