02/29/2020 - Baseball Factory Mid-Atlantic Combined Skills Training - Columbia, MD (Ages 12-14) Michael performed well at the Skills Training Weekend. He swung the bat well showing a simple, repeatable approach with rhythm. He is balanced, has a short strike and looks to do damage with an aggressive move to the ball. As he continues to mature and make use of the entire field he will take even more steps forward as he has a natural feel to hit. On the mound Michael showed a heavy, tailing fastball from an arm slot that is difficult on hitters. He has an interesting 3-pitch mix showing the ability to spin a breaking ball and beginning to develop a change. More confidence in the change and a higher volume of strikes will help to maximize his effectiveness as a pitcher. Once again, Michael showed that he has legitimate 2-way potential.
