01/13/2012 - 2012 Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament Michael is a solid 3rd baseman who will graduate in 2012. At 3B, Michael has quick feet, soft / sure hands, and he moves well laterally. He fields out in front of his body, his back hand is solid, and he makes plays consistently. Michael has a clean exchange, and he throws with a short / loose arm with decent carry across the diamond. Playing more through the ball, and adding arm strength can help defensive grades improve. Offensively, Michael has good balance, bat speed, and a level swing. He swings in good rhythm, he has good barrel accuracy, and he gets decent good extension through the ball. Michael can work the ball to all fields, and if he can loosen his grip and avoid spinning off, offensive numbers can improve.
