08/25/2019 - College PREP - Lodi (Sacramento), CA Michael continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a promising future on the diamond. He did so behind the plate for the first time at the event. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a well above average runner at 7.00. In the OF, defensive abilities have improved as he displays smooth / fluid actions. He utilizes his quick, athletic feet well in taking proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind and plays through with momentum to his target. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. Behind the plate, pop times showed in the 2.20 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. He shows a squared setup with flexibility allowing his glove to work softly, sticking balls in the zone. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. At the plate, hitting / power potential has improved through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will continue to increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.
