02/10/2013 - College PREP - Sacramento, CA Nikki is a very talented young SS with advanced instincts on both sides of the ball. At the plate, Nikki uses a square set up with a back load, short stride, her balance on her toes and has a short path to the ball. She uses the whole field well, has very quick hands and understands the concept of getting her hands extended after contact to create carry. She will benefit from being more aggressive and consistent while improving her timing and not allowing herself to recoil at the end of her swing. She has a solid bunt game and should continue to work on keeping her front side on the ball as long as possible to improve power production/overall quality of contact. Overall, Nikki has the potential and approach to suggest that she may be playing this game a long time. She carries herself very well in a competitive atmosphere and should continue to work hard/ seek quality instruction & reps for continued growth.
