12/14/2019 - Florida Regional Offensive Skills and Pitching/Catching Combined Weekend (Ages 14-18) Michael is a big and strong 2022 prospect that was very coachable. At the plate, Michael starts in an open stance, he loads his hands back into the knock out position, and creates backside drive with his lower half. He has fast hands, he attacks the inside part of the ball, and shows gap to gap power. He has a tendency to lunge at contact, getting to balance and staying in his legs will improve his ability to back the ball up. On the bump, Michael gathers over the rubber, he separates on time, and has a loose arm action. He has a tendency to rush and over rotate when he throws. He needs to continue to work on finding a balance point, riding his back leg down hill, and finishing over his front side. He has command of his fastball, he has a plus breaking ball, and gets some action on his changeup. Michael will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
