01/30/2016 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 12-14) Michael is a big, strong RHH that showed nice potential at the Hitting ATW. Working from a slightly open stance, Michael works through a knee-to-knee trigger with the lower half and will benefit from avoiding an arm bar habit which will allow him to stay shorter with the stroke to the baseball. Consistent pull-side contact was made and one of Michael's best attributes was his ability to work on letting the ball travel deeper into the hitting zone on the pitch away and drive it to right-center as the weekend went on. The ball really jumps of the bat well when centered and staying consistent with a controlled-aggressive approach will allow Michael to show the power that he has at the plate through the years.
