11/08/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Select Training & Competition (HS) Micah is a third baseman and right-handed pitcher from Hanover Park, IL, who will graduate in 2028. He recently worked on refining his skills at the Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Training in Arizona, where he demonstrated strong fundamentals and a solid work ethic. As a third baseman, Micah starts with a good prep step and is quick on his feet, positioning himself well to field the ball. He picks out hops effectively and gets rid of the ball with an arm velocity up to 72 mph, showcasing his ability to make accurate throws across the diamond. On the mound, Micah excels at getting to a good balance point, striding in line, and getting his chest to the glove. He throws a fastball, curveball, and changeup, with his curveball flashing tight spin. In three innings of work during the event, he struck out three batters and threw 55% of his pitches for strikes, demonstrating good command and the ability to miss bats. At the plate, Micah starts in an open stance with an on-time stride, keeping a flat barrel that allows him to rotate smoothly to the contact point. He reached base 3 times during games—once on a walk and twice on singles, showing his ability to make consistent contact. With four more years of growth and development, Micah has the potential to become a well-rounded player and continue to excel both offensively and defensively.
