INF/RHP Will Nikolay (De Pere, 2027) is a 5-foot-7, 145-pound prospect who started his day off by showing burst and athleticism when he ran a solid 7.43 second 60 yard dash. Next, Nikolay hits with a smooth right handed stroke who continually barrelled up baseball through the middle of the field. He displayed smoothness to his actions in the infield portion of the event. Finally, on the mound, he topped out at 74 mph from a ¾ slot and a quick arm. His curveball shows potential for a swing and miss weapon and has a developing changeup.
