RHP/INF Nick Hirsch (Hudson, 2025) is an uncommitted two-way prospect to know in the state. Built at a strong and athletic 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Hirsch pumped his fastball up to 87.6 mph, while ranging 86-87 mph, from a loose and clean delivery. He also featured two different breaking balls; the first being a gradual breaking 11/5 curveball and a hard thrown slider in the 79-81 mph range. He also threw in a changeup with late fade/depth that he is still fully harnessing feel for the zone with. During his BP round, Hirsch consistently created backspin to all parts of the field, with his hardest batted ball coming off at 97.4 mph and also averaged 89.1 mph. On the infield, he featured clean footwork and soft hands that look viable to stick on the infield in some capacity in the long run. Overall, it was another quality showing from Hirsch, who looks to be one of the top uncommitted prospects left on the state’s current junior board.
