In 2024, Nick was selected as the 4th overall draft pick by the Oakland Athletics. He signed an underslot contract worth $7 million. Nick performed brilliantly when he was playing with the Double-A Midland after a brief stint in Single-A Stockton.

He was performing exceptionally well with the minors. This rewarded him with a call-up and promotion to the Major League.

This is how Players and Media Reacted

The excitement is real among the fans after his performances in the minor league. His ability to hit is just impressive. Everyone around him felt he was ready to take the big stage and deliver this kind of performance for the Oakland Athletics.

This is what Mark Kotsay, the Oakland Athletics manager, had to say

We saw in Spring Training how advanced he is for his age. His approach. His ability to make adjustments. … For a young player in his first full season to have the start that he’s had, it’s pretty impressive.
