01/17/2014 - Baseball Factory Spring Training at the Yankees Training Complex (Ages 12-14) Michael is a 2018 graduate who plays SS and C. As an infielder he showed a good grasp of defensive concepts, squares up to the ball, and has decent arm strength. Michael can improve by fielding out front more, control his body and increase lateral quickness. At the plate he hits well to the pull side, recognizes pitches, and is quick out the box. Improvements can be made by developing a load, using the lower half more and keeping balance centered.
