Nigbor proved to be one of the most consistent players in attendance with a second-best 60 at 7.38, a 74 mph infield arm, and a barrel filled two rounds of BP to the tune of a 83.8 mph max exit velocity. Moved very well on the dirt showing soft hands while staying behind the ball and working through it when needed. Throws were accurate and on the bag each-and-every time. At the plate he starts with a slight knee bend with his hands high-and-close to the shoulder and the barrel almost directly perpendicular to the ground. Has a small leg lift trigger where he gets all his weight onto his backside before driving the hands into the ball. Gets the barrel on plane and shows the ability to manipulate its plane through the zone.
