Nolan

6/19/13: Nolan is a projectable 6-foot-1, 163-pound left hand pitcher who as his frame fills out has potential to be a front of the line starter. On the mound, Nolan comes from a high ¾ arm slot with a long, loose arm. He showed ability to consistently throw strikes with all of his pitches. While his velocity was a bit down due to some soreness in his arm (topped out at 77-mph), he showed an effective fastball throw on both sides of the plate with arm side movement. His breaking ball had gradual two plane break in the 60-62 mph range and stayed down in the zone. In the outfield, Nolan finds the ball quickly and keeps his momentum toward his target with good footwork. His throws were accurate (top throw of 78-mph) and on a line. At the plate, Nolan showed improvement in his swing mechanics from his last showcase with good rhythm, fast bat speed and a level bat path that produced line drives to all fields.

12/29/12: Nolan is a wiry 6-foot-1, 135-pound OF/LHP who, as he cntinues to fill out his frame, should see progression over the next few years. 

In the outfield, Nolan takes quick routes to the ball, and gets in good position to throw to his target. His throws were all on a line, with a top throw of 76-mph. 

On the mound, the left handed throwing Nolan comes from a high ¾ arm slot with long and loose arm action. His fastball (73-74 mph) was consistently thrown for a strike with slight arm side movement. He also threw a breaking ball with 1-to-7 shape down in the zone and a 66-68 mph change up with late glove side action.

At the plate, the left handed hitter has a balanced stance with a long, level swing that finishes uphill. At times, his hands dropped with his stride, when he kept them up, his swings were shorter and more consistent. 

Nolan ran a 5.41 40 and 4.60 home to first.
