2017 Draft: Nick Pratto

Nick Pratto | 1B

Background
The 18-year-old Pratto attends Huntington Beach High School in California, where he stars as both a hitter and pitcher. He’s committed to Southern California. Back in 2011, Pratto had the walk-off hit in the Little League World Series Championship Game, which is kinda cool.

Scouting Report
Pratto is a legitimate pro prospect as both a first baseman and a left-handed pitcher, though he’s made tremendous strides with the bat this year and will be drafted as a position player. He’s a left-handed hitter who knows the strike zone and barrels the ball up consistently, and while he’s listed at only 6-foot-1 and 193 lbs.
