04/09/2017 - Interactive Video Program - Costa Mesa (Los Angeles), CA Michael is a lean, athletic 3B/OF. At 3B, he displays efficient footwork as he tries to work around the GB. He plays through the ball as he makes accurate throws to his target. In the OF, he takes solid routes as he works behind the fly ball. He reads the ball well off the bat as he stays under control and fires throws with a loose arm action. At the plate, Michael presents an athletic/balanced setup with a smooth rhythm to load. He uses a middle of the field approach swinging on a level bat path through the zone. Overall abilities in his game will improve with work on the following.
