Prep Baseball Report

Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '27 INF/RHP Nicolas Fernandez


Dylan Grenz
Assistant Scouting Director

As we move through the high school season, Prep Baseball Oregon features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers who have attended a Prep Baseball ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.

This week, we spotlight '27 INF/RHP Nicolas Fernandez. The junior from Jesuit High School was most recently seen at the Corvallis Preseason ID at Oregon State University this winter.

A medium-framed righthander, Fernandez's showcase was highlighted by mid-90's exit velocities at the plate and a low 80's fastball on the mound. Below is a complete player profile breakdown.

After release momentum carries back over to first base side with a short trail leg.
Arm Action: RH. Hands break at the letters into a short action 3/4 arm release with glove hand staying tight to body on follow through.
FB: T81, 79-81 mph. T2036, 1962 average rpm.
CB: 64-66 mph. T2095, 2071 average rpm.
CH: 72-72 mph. T1527, 1481 average rpm.

Body: 6-0, 187-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Feet are more than shoulder width apart and square to the plate with weight shifted slightly over front foot. Shoulders are square with hands set ear high stacked over the shoulder with bat hovering horizontally over the shoulder. Hands dropped into load away from the body as front foot quick lifts and lands causing hips to flip open pulling hands tight to the body through the zone with uphill contact on the ball. Weight stays back through the swing finishing with a hard two-handed follow through. 70.9 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 88.5 mph. 331' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-72 mph. Taps the glove in the gather before breaking downward at the letters into a low 3/4 arm release.
Defense: Starts bent at the waist and knees with feet shoulder width apart on prep step. Good mover to the ball on approach staying low while working body around the ball to keep momentum to target. Fields in front near center frame comfortably showing ability to field forehand and backhand.
ATH: 7.16 runner in the 60. 1.72 and 4.05 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 17.40 max vertical.
