02/18/2024 - National Showcase - Fremont (San Jose), CA Michael is a fast and scrappy OF in the 2025 class. He ran a 6.87 60 and it translated defensively. He has quick feet and demonstrated excellent closing speed to the baseball. Body stays in rhythm and is in control of his athletic movements. He can redirect the ball back to the dirt with quick exchanges and accuracy at 81 velo. At the plate, he begins with an open stance and triggers a short stride to gain his launch position. He flashed hard contact at 75 exit velo and looks to create line drive production. Working to get his front foot down sooner will allow his natural athletic ability to take over and not feel rushed at the plate. Overall, Micheal is a strong talent and scouts feel with his make-up, he will only improve as he continues to play.
