Nick Bard: OF/RHP, (2026) Eastlake North High School, OH. 5-foot-8, 176.5-pound athletic frame. (58.6 mph bat speed average). (17.8 mph hand speed average). Started in a crouched stance with a smooth load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed was efficient, had an upward swing plane and high finish. He barreled up some balls with some loud contact. Fly ball approach. Capable in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 70 mph; showed a clean exchange, consistent feet, and sure hands. Laterally, movements were quick and fielded the ball to the side. Used a consistent arm action and athletic slot while showing some accuracy to the bag. Smooth on the mound, used a moderate arm action with an over-the-top arm angle while showing consistent arm speed. Stretch only type pitcher who uses easy effort. Has a strong balance point with even shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. (Max spin 1543; Avg 1444).
