09/12/2009 - E-ACR - Maryland 8 Michael continues to improve his baseball abilities, as shown by improved 60-time, OF grade, and hitting ability. In the OF, showed quick feet which allowed him to get to ball quickly. Kept feet moving as he played thru ground balls aggressively. Got behind ground balls as he caught it on proper side. Gained good ground with accurate throws. Would like to see him raise arm angle which will help eliminate arm-side run. At the plate, had quick direct hands with level swing thru the hitting zone. Demonstrated the ability to hit balls to all fields as he centered all balls. Balls jumped off barrel with good life. At 3B, had decent laterally movement as he was able to get to all balls. Presents glove well and shows the ability to stay low and field out front. Showed good backhand with good loose arm action on accurate throws.
