2016 Rocky Mountain Showcase
Nick Ciccio is a 2017 2B/OF with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Castle Pines, CO who attends Lutheran HS. Tall athletic frame with wiry strength. Body projects for additional size with strength. Right handed hitter with a balanced, straight stacne and higher hand set. Launches to contact with rotational lower half actions and occasional shift. Primarily generates bat speed through the top half with a compact, level swing plane. Shows good strength at contact with the ability to extended the barrel through the hitting zone. Batting practice and game swings were consistent with a quiet, mid-field approach. Worked out defensively from both the infield and outfield. Athletic actions in the infield with smooth funneling glove actions. Gets the baseball out quickly with a quick exchange and compact arm action. Throws across the infield accurately with some on line carry topping at 68 mph. From the outfield shows athletic closing actions while working through the baseball with clean glove to hand exchanges. Throws from a slightly lower arm angle with an uphill arm stroke that produces some on line carry with accuracy to the bag, topped at 74 mph. Very good student as well.
