Spencer Nicely (2023, Summit, N.J.) toed the rubber for the Diamond Jacks Supers Friday night, tossing four perfect innings, sitting down all 12 batters he faced. Needing only 43 pitches to work get through four full, Nicely would punch out eight LI Elite Prospect’s as he would throw 81% strikes, consistently pounding the zone, working in the lower third extremely well.

Nicely would retire the side to begin the top of the first, working his heater in the 84-86 mph range, later settling into the 82-83 mph range.
