WILSON ON HOLT: "Nicki has amazing potential in this game. She has great size, strength, speed and arm strength. "Nicki has always been a slapper, but she is working very hard right now to increase her ability to hit for power. When she masters this, she will be a force to be reckoned with offensively. "Defensively, her speed and arm strength give her great potential to one day dominate in the outfield as well. Nicki is a quiet person by nature, but as she gains confidence and maturity as a player, I expect her to blossom into something special."
