The Corona Angels star picked Florida after visits to Tennessee, LSU, Washington and Cal. She is a fluid defender with a strong arm from deep in the hole as a shortstop. Nichols is a true triple threat, having enough speed to steal a good number of bases and the power to potentially have 20-30 extra-base hits in a season.
