Nonis

Nonis has slimmed down and added strength since we last saw him and the improved physique has elevated his overall game significantly. The sweet left-handed swing shows a little more consistent thump while the improved athleticism is allowing him to get to balls he may not have gotten to in the past. The most significant improvements are visible defensively where he’s moving and reacting more freely and quickly with a presently strong, accurate arm.

Positional Profile: C/3B LH hitting C/INF who shows polish at the plate with continuing to emerge potential behind it
Body: 5-6, 172-pounds. Compact sized frame with some present strength
Hit: LHH. Starts from a slightly open stance with small bend in his knees and hands are set hight above his head just behind it and a high back elbow. Deep weight shift with a draw back of the front foot into an aggressive forward move as his hands work down into the launch position. Utilizes an aggressive quick turn of his hips through the middle of his body while maintaining balance throughout the swing. The hands and bat path both are quick showing feel to get his barrel into the zone early with ability to stay through the zone. Shows leverage with a finish just above his shoulders that produces consistent hard line drive contact.
Power: Swing is on the flatter side which plays to hard line drive contact from the middle to pull side of the field. There is enough impact in the bat with above 90 MPH EVs that will show HR power to pull side with gaps double power long term.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. Transfer is quick and clean with ability to get the ball out of the glove and out of the hand. Throws are online with consistent carry to the base that will play as a potentially average to fringe above average tool.
Defense: 1.93-2.03 pop times. Glove is solid with strength in his wrists and blocks well with continuing to develop potential behind the dish.
ATH: Shows quickness in his first step while maintaining body control and speed throughout his 60
