10/15/2010 - Team One Fall Showcase 2010 Michael showed solid skills both on the mound and in the OF during the Team One Fall Showcase. He still projects better on the mound than in the OF. Michael throws a heavy FB on a downhill plane with nice A/S run. He gets good extension on his pitches, he mixes them well, and he can throw them all for strikes. Michael has a good presence on the mound, he attacks hitters, and gets outs. Mound effectiveness can get better if Michael can gather himself better at his balance point and improve his glove side lead. In the OF, Michael takes good routes and angles to the ball and he makes plays. He throws accurately with good arm strength and carry to his target. He will need to work through the ball more, and quicken his exchange to get better defensively. At the plate, Michael is a better hitter from the right side. He tracks the ball well, stays through, and makes hard contact to all fields. A lower back elbow and more direct hands to the ball will help right handed numbers get better. From the left side, Michael has a good set-up and he puts the ball in play. A shorter stroke should help lefty numbers rise.
