Nathan Ziemnik is a 2023 2B/RHP, C, SS with a 5-2 110 lb. frame from Springboro, OH who attends Archbishop Moeller. Young, square shouldered build with a lean and projectable frame with room to grow and develop moving forward. Ran an 8.12 60-yard dash. Primary second baseman, takes short steps moving towards the ball, fields out front with an extra step through release, works through the backhand, actions will continue to develop, full arm action through the back and shows accuracy on throws to first base. Also pitched, simple side step into a medium leg lift, stays tall on back with a slight coil at balance point; loose arm action through the back working to a mid three-quarters release point. Up-tempo delivery, occasionally gets mistimed at release, fastball topped out at 70 mph, comes out of hand cleanly with plane when on top. Curveball showed 11-5 shape up to 61 mph, comfort to double up on the pitch. Righthanded hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow in the box with a wide base; utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing at the plate. Short shift moving into contact and shows some balance with timing in the box, linear swing path through the zone. Shows looseness to hands, can continue to incorporate additional lower half into swing, contact oriented approach and gets the barrel to the ball. Very good student.
