Mike
Nikorak

8/18/14 The athletic 6-foot-4, 205-pound right-hander started the game for the American team and showed no signs of nerves. The Alabama recruit, who’s currently the No. 1-ranked prospect in our coverage area, retired the side in order with two strikeouts. His fastball sat predominately at 93 mph, topping at 94. Unlike many of the pitchers at the event, Nikorak produces premium velocity with little effort. Aside from his fastball velocity, Nikorak also showed an advanced three-pitch mix. His changeup looks to be a plus offering, as he threw a few with late arm-side sink. He recorded a strikeout with a 79-mph changeup and also consistently threw his 76-78 mph curveball for strikes.

6/26/14 Nikorak sat 90-93 mph with his fastball with good life and occasional downhill plane. His curveball sat 76-78, flashing, good sharp break with 11-to-5 action in warm-ups, but it remained inconsistent in the game and he seldom used it. He threw one changeup at 78.
