Scouting Report
Bats: L, Throws: R
Nivens makes surprisingly hard contact for a smaller guy with a simple swing, and he’s an excellent fastball hitter. He’s a redshirt sophomore, having sat out the 2021 season, and all he’s done is hit, with a 16 percent strikeout rate over his two seasons with the Bears and 25 homers in 116 games. He’s a smaller guy, listed at 5-11, but strong enough that he might carry over some of that power and end up a 15-20 homer hitter. He hasn’t faced much real velocity, hitting what he’s seen at least, and he will have to work to stay in center, as his arm would otherwise push him to left field. There’s a decent upside here with the hit/power potential if he does stay up the middle.
