9/13/19

Chicago Scouts Association went to 2022 RHP Nicholas Kolze (Romeoville HS, IL) out of the bullpen. Kolze a wide-shouldered, 6-foot-2, 195-pound, sophomore went right after hitters with primarily a firm fastball that was up to 89 mph, working mostly 86-88 mph, especially early on. Kolze has one of the strongest arms in the class and will be one to watch closely in the next few years.

6/24/19

Kolze had one of the day’s most impressive outings on the mound. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound righty sat 83-85 mph, touching 86 mph, twice through Minnesota Blizzard’s order. His ability to mix in a power, hammer 12/6 breaking ball helped earn a number of swings and misses.

2/17/19

6-foot-2, 195-pound, two-way prospect; long, athletic build with present strength in frame. On the mound, right-handed pitcher, coiled at balance point, stays closed down the mound and work on-line. Slight plunge out of the glove, quick arm out of an over-the-top slot with easy effort. Fastball, works straight, finish through the zone, thrown for strikes, sat 83-84 mph, touched 86. Curveball, 11/5 shape, 65-69 mph. Changeup, fade action, 73-75 mph. At the plate, right-handed hitter, balanced setup, smooth load and rhythm, short stride. Loose, athletic hands, flashed bat speed, uphill path and gap-to-gap approach; 97 mph exit velocity from a tee. At first base, reliable hands, long arm action, high ¾ slot and throws topped at 80 mph. 7.56 runner in the 60, laser-timed.
