08/12/2012 - College PREP - Raleigh, NC Mitchell is a young 2B that will graduate in 2014. Feet are active as he works to square balls up and displays clean hands. He needs to be more aggressive in attacking balls, playing through, and presenting hands more out front to improve defensive grades. Throws are accurate and gets rid of the ball quickly but needs to build more arm strength / carry through a long toss program. At the plate, Helms shows a balanced approach with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level / on plane swing path. He uses his lower half well with power numbers improving as he adds more overall body strength and increases bat speed. He needs to get stride foot down sooner to work on time and improve hitting grade. With 2 years to further develop, Mitchell has abilities with time and room to improve.
