09/22/2012 - Pitching/Catching Accelerated Training Weekend (Commuter) (Ages 14-18) Michael is an athletic young RHP who has a strong build. His FB has some run to it as he throws it with good arm speed and is able to consistently locate. His SL has 10/4 movement and is thrown with good arm speed. His CH has run to it as he throws that with FB arm speed as well. Michael has good control of all of pitches and throws with good balance and understanding of his mechanics. He gets over his front side very well as he body moves in proper sequence throughout his delivery. Michael has a slight tendency to open up his hips early which will be fixed through heightened emphasis on staying closed and drills to accompany that. He will also benefit from increased strength which will increase his explosiveness in his lower body and allow him to utilize his powerful frame. Michael has a bright future ahead of him and with continue work on the physical development side of things he should develop nicely.
