Notes

Comments

3/18/25
After a big sophomore spring for Cathedral and quality looks on the circuit last summer, Nickols came back to the All-State with a more physical-looking, 6-foot-2, 175 pound frame - and still room for strength gains. The bat is his best tool and the lanky right-handed hitter offers a well-paced, well-connected, right-handed stroke that is very playable & his exits peaked at 96-plus. He now has an above average run tool to pair (6.90) and likely profiles best as a 2B/3B.

10/15/23

Chase Nickols, Cathedral (IN), 2026
Positional Profile: 3B/SS
Body: 6-1, 165-pounds. Lanky, projectable build
Hit: RHH. Starts in a tall, athletic stance. Rhythmic upper body load is paired with a bigger, leg kick stride. Shows the ability to work behind the baseball to create leverage. Path works direct/to the top of the ball to create line drive contact.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 80.4 mph. 298' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-76 mph. Loose arm action from a high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Fundamental actions - feet work under control, hands are sure with some feel to pick, clean exchange.
