Nick Halamandaris

Halamandaris is a big, physical first baseman with a pretty lefthanded swing. He is a good athlete who runs well for his size. He has a feel to hit with some power potential, but scouts feel his swing is a little bit grooved and he's a medium-twitch athlete. As the game speeds up, he'll have to prove he can keep up. He needs more work against breaking balls and was believed to be a tough sign away from his commitment to California.
