Another physical young bat from our trip to Kansas City, INF Aidan Nicholson (Liberty, MO, 2028) showed advanced raw strength inside a physical 6-foot-3, 192-pound frame. The right-handed hitter generated easy power from a quick, compact swing, peaking at 102.6 mph exit velocity while averaging 90.7 mph per batted ball. He also flashed arm strength with an 82 mph infield velocity and ran a 6.75 60-yard dash. With loud tools across the board, Nicholson is a name to follow closely in Missouri’s 2028 class.
