C/RHP Nick King: King is a senior catcher/right handed pitcher from Iowa with above average strength in his 6-3, 205 lb frame. King took a very good batting practice at the Showcase with an aggressive hard swing and even blasted a ball out of Veterans Memorial Stadium to left field. There’s no doubt that he has some power in his bat, although his game approach was a bit more tentative and contact oriented. King is a 7.16 runner, very good for his size, and moves well behind the plate. He has a long release on his throws and really doesn’t show his true arm strength behind the plate, although he did show an accurate arm. King also played some at third base, showing pretty good actions and this might even be his best position down the road. As a pitcher, King was consistently 82-84 mph from an overhand release point that generated good plane to the plate. King’s breaking ball was a 72 mph slider that had a short, fairly late break. King hasn’t signed with any college that we’ve heard but definitely has the ability to play college baseball.

King is a big strong right-handed Junior that pitches and hits at a high level. On the mound he Showed a short arm action and quick delivery from a high 3/4 arm slot. His fastball was between 82-85 mph and his curve was fairly sharp at 74 mph. He also threw a 70 mph change-up, at times with sink. His pitches were good but not quite as impressive as his bat showed. He seemed to hit live pitching better than BP and the pitching he faced was outstanding. He showed hard hits anywhere and everywhere between the lines. Flashed some deep gap power and hit every ball hard. He even showed good catching ability and made a good play at 3B with the glove. He has versatility and we look forward to watching him again.
