ick Fitzanko - PB...Personal Statement
As a catcher and utility player, I have developed the skills that offer flexibility to coaches to place me wherever I am needed on the field defensively. I am capable and comfortable hitting anywhere in the lineup to help the team produce runs. I continue to learn, play, and grow in the game of baseball. I will be our biggest cheerleader and do what is best for the team.

- Baseball Factory All Region HS Tournament
- 9/04/20 to 9/06/20
- 4 CLASS RATING C/OF POSITION PROJECTION 09/04/2020 - HS All-Region Tournament Nick is a pure catch and throw backstop who also will make an impact with the bat. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. Quick lateral movements allow him to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off of a soft chest. Runners will not want to test his cannon for an arm (92 mph velocity) with impressive pop times of 1.99. Offensively, he continues to shine through a tall, open setup. He has athletic/smooth actions with fluid rhythm to load. He gets good hand separation and delivers the barrel with leverage, resulting in a barrel explosion (83 mph exit velocity) through a line drive approach.
