Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 1B/RHPPosition Projection

07/29/2008 - Under Armour Southwest Regional Tournament - 2008 Michael improved his hitting grade, overall power grade, and pitching mechanics while at UA SW. At the plate, showed good bat speed with power to all fields. Ball jumped off barrel. Had a good approach to each at bat. When he keeps hands inside ball, had good path to zone instead of sweeping around ball. At 1B, was aggressive to ball with ability to play thru. Long toss will help loosen his arm action. On the mound, stayed closed and this allowed him to hide ball. Showed good direction with extension thru pitch. Lower half explosion will improve by getting to balance point consistently and having a consistent landing spot.

06/28/2008 - ACR-E - Maryland - 4 Mike is a tall, athletically built 1B/RHP who improved his 60 time by half a second. At 1B, has loose and live arm and gets into proper throwing position every time. Moves well laterally, as shown by 60-time, and has proper footwork around bag. Would like to see a better pre-pitch presentation and a quicker release of the ball. At the plate, shows quick hands which leads to good pop. Needs to transfer weight through ball and not lean back after contact. Cuts off swing which makes him hook most balls. On the mound, kept eyes on target and showed some life on FB. Was able to stay in-line and follow thru towards home plate. Has a head tilt which makes him throw over-the-top and FB is flat. Can have better lower half explosion when he takes front hip towards home plate and not fly open.

10/14/2007 - College PREP - Baltimore, MD 10/14/2007 - SCR / UMBC- Michael worked out on the mound and at 1B. He currently projects best at 1B where he utilizes his tall, lean frame in presenting a big target. He displays life in his body and his feet in making all the plays and shows the ability to pick balls out of the dirt. He does need to work on quickening his foot speed and developing more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Michael displays well above average bat speed with the baseball jumping off the bat when centered. He shows well above average raw power with more there. On the mound, he currently shows average ability across the board and needs to concentrate his work ethics in the field and at the plate. He is young and has a lot of room to improve.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
