05/01/2011 - College PREP - Farmingville (Long Island), NY Mike is a young, athletic SS with a strong lower 1/2. Defensively, Mike has soft / sure hands, fluid footwork, and he fields the ball from the right. He moves well laterally, he fields in an athletic position, and he makes plays. Mike has a quick / clean exchange, he gets rid of the ball quickly, and he throws with accuracy and average strength to his target. Adding arm strength through long toss will only help defensive grades get better. Offensively, Mike has a square set-up, a proper load, and a short stride. He has good balance, direct hands to the ball, and his bat speed is good. Mike finds the barrel, he makes square contact, and he can work the ball gap to gap. Solid hitting numbers can get better with a lower back elbow and by staying short to the ball.
