Nick Topoleski is a 2017 RHP/1B, 3B with a 6-1 200 lb. frame from Lawrenceville, GA who attends Collins Hill. Large frame, sturdy build with present strength. Primary right handed pitcher, energetic delivery with leg lift above the belt and gather. Drop and drive down the mound, has a deep release and offers hitters a different look. Works to a lower 3/4's arm slot with extended, slingy arm-action, has solid armspeed and works through the path fine. Fastball up to 80 mph, shows nice armside running life, at times can get away from him, but generally able to command the pitch well. Throws two breaking balls, a harder slider is better offering at present, pitch has two-plane depth and later break. Curveball can change hitters' timing and eye level, has more depth but is longer-breaking, flashes solid bite and late finish at times. Worked a clean three innings. Also plays infield, has solid feet around the bag at first base. Accurate arm across the diamond. Right handed hitter, open stance, stays balanced. Able to get extended. Shows comfort in pulling the ball, line-drive swing plane with budding feel for the barrel. Outstanding student.
