08/01/2018 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) Michael is an athletic and talented 2019 OF prospect that works hard and made several adjustments throughout the week at Pirate City. In the OF, Michael is on time with his prep step and anticipates the ball off the bat. He's aggressive on ground balls and works behind fly balls well. At the plate, Michael starts in an open stance, loads his hands back, and has a direct bath path to the ball. He needs to continue to get his front foot down on time, create backside rotation, and keep his head down at contact. He plays hard in the OF by laying out for balls and runs the bases well. Michael will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
