Scouting Report on DeMarco
DeMarco Stands 6-foot-1 165-pounds with room to add some weight. On the mound he uses a high knee lift with  good shoulder alignment before rotation and throws from a high ¾ slot. His fastball sat 80-82 mph with some arm side gradual run. His (spike) curveball sat 67-70 with late tumble and his changeup was 71 with arm side fade. From the infield he comes and gets the baseball hard, fields on his glove side and throws from a mid/high ¾ slot, very quick release at 82 mph. From the field he moves athletically to the ball and ran a 4.28 home to first time from the right side batter’s box. At the plate his approach is tall and relaxed, his bat path is slightly inclined with short extension and a shoulder high finish. His exit velocity was 80 mph off a tee. Very similar to twin brother Dominick, he shows great athleticism on the base paths as well as in the field. I can see Nicholas making an impact at the next level if he utilizes a strength-training program this off-season.

Analysis:
Although a very good HS player in the field and with the bat, his tools project as a Pitcher at the next level. Considering he works extremely hard at this, focusing on arm strength and overall body strength, there is no question he could help a program on the mound.
