Today, we catch up with Nikolas Bruno, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound two-way player from Boylan Catholic Central, Class of 2014.

"Bruno is a 6-foot-7, 220-pound left-handed hitting two-way player who projects well at the next level.  Utilizing his size, the right-hander gets downhill well, as he delivered 81-83 mph fastball with some sink, a 61-65 mph curveball, and a 73-74 mph changeup.  Defensively, Bruno moves well around the bag and was clocked at 77 mph from across the diamond.  At the plate, the left-handed hitter had good bat speed and balance throughout his swing."
