06/22/2012 - USA Baseball 17U Championships Mourad has a tremendous week at the event. He has improved his defensive abilities through smooth actions. Hands / feet work well together through the fielding process. Glove action is soft / clean / sure as he makes all the plays. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Austin continues to shine. Hands are quick, generating bat speed through a level swing path. At the event, he was 7 for 13 with 2B and inside the park HR. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a gamer and shows a strong desire to be the best player he can be.
