Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • C/RHPPosition Projection

06/13/2009 - Omaha Pro Select Training and Tournament - Week 1 Michael continues to show steady improvement in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved to average and he will benefit by staying on a speed / agility program. Blocking and receiving skills have improved to solid average and will play at the next level. Power times will drop as he learns to quicken transfer / exchange and short arm action. At the plate, Steele showed an aggressive approach as he works to keep hands inside the baseball, utilizing all fields. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed. He was 1 for 6 with a 2B at the event.

03/22/2009 - College PREP - El Paso, TX Michael is a two-way player as a catcher and on the mound with big, athletic looking body that shows projection as he continues to physically mature. Foot speed is below average and he needs to get on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness. He utilizes his feet well in gaining ground and working directly to target through the throwing process. Receiving and blocking skills are slightly above average, needing polish to be effective at the next level. Arm strength is solid average and he needs to get on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength and raise velocities. He flashes near above average pop times as indicated by his low pop time of 2.12. At the plate, hitting abilities are slightly above average with above average power. He shows life in his barrel with strength in his swing. Lower half works well in transferring weight and maintaining balance. He has some mechanical flaws that are hindering him from reaching his full potential at the plate. On the mound, fastball shows some arm side run and sink on 2 planes. Breaking ball is best off speed pitch showing slightly above average displaying an 11/6 shape with average spin. Changeup is average showing below average feel. Steele has abilities with 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).
