12/27/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #2 Mitchel is a young player that participated in Pirate City at both OF and on the mound. He currently projects better on the mound where he has good mound presence and pitchability. Mitchel works quick on the mound and is consistent with his mechanics. He throws a lot of strikes and with more extension and work on his CB, he has time to improve as he continues to grow and mature. In the OF, Mitchel has good arm strength for his age and he works to the ball well. With improved range and a quicker 1st step, Mitchel can further improve his defensive skills in the OF. Offensively, Mitchel has good balance and a tall back side. He is able to hit the ball to the opposite field but will need to avoid diving to the ball and opening his front side. Mitchel is a young player with a solid base of skills. We expect those skills to improve over the next couple of years with normal growth, maturity, and polish.
