Halcovitch is another top unsigned senior in Ontario who will be moving back to the 2026 class and needs to be on the radar of Division I college coaches heading into the summer of 2025. Will be mature for the 2026 class as he’ll be 19 when he steps on campus and it’s a physically imposing frame at 6-foot-4, 220-pounds. Halcovitch really popped off last spring following a strong winter of training that saw his velocity jump into the upper-80s. The slider has shown to be his most reliable secondary offering but also features a curveball and changeup with the ability to throw all for strikes. Intriguing overall profile from Halcovitch and has a chance to be a workhorse in college as he continues to refine his secondary stuff.

Fresh off a strong showing at last week's Titans Scout Day, Halcovitch put together another quality bullpen at Friday's Pitcher-Only session. An imposing figure coming down the mound at 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, Halcovitch’s fastball worked up to 88.5mph for strikes and was complimented by a sharp slider that was up to 79mph (max spin rate of 2306rpm). The arsenal is rounded out with a changeup (max 17in. HM) and a curveball with vertical look. Rhythmic delivery with a shorter arm-action that really gets on hitters. With present velocity and near-optimal spin/movement profiles, expect a strong summer from Nick with sustained growth moving forward.
