07/31/2019 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) Michael continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a bright future on the diamond. On the mound, he has a good overall delivery, a good arm action, and he rotates his hips through to his target. Arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 79 mph. Fastball shows good cutting action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with tight spin and late break. Control is outstanding as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a tall, open setup. He has strong/centered balance with fluid rhythm to load. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path with lower half working well through the swing. He has strength in his swing with power showing best to the pull side. In the OF, he takes a quick first step and moves lightly on the balls of his feet. Range is a plus as reads balls well off the bat and covers a lot of ground. Transfer is smooth with strong throws through his cut off. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
