| Fastball: | Since moving into the bullpen, Niesen's fastball has been a plus, touching the mid-90s. |
| Slider: | Some like his slider, but others grade it as below-average. |
| Changeup: | Niesen's change is a below-average pitch. |
| Control: | His command is below-average as well. |
| Physical Description: | Niesen is a small lefty with a low three-quarters arm angle and fits a Dan Reichert-type body mold. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | Plus velocity on his fastball with an interesting arm angle. |
| Weaknesses: | None of his other pitches grade out average or above. |
| Summary: | Niesen has found success since moving into Wake Forest's bullpen earlier in the season. His fastball has picked up a few notches, and he throws it with a three-quarter arm angle. That being said, he lacks deception for a lefty reliever and his other pitches lag behind the fastball. |
