12/19/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #1 Mike showed many improvements in his drill work and game play during his time in Pirate City Mike has good athleticism in the middle INF, along with good instincts and play skills. He has good hands and feet and improved his arm and fielding numbers since we last saw him. Mike fields the ball cleanly and get rid of it very quickly to the bag. Defensive can further improve if he can pick out the better hops sooner, thus avoiding fielding the baseball on his heels. Offensively, Mike has excellent balance and bat speed. He makes solid contact and moves the runners well. Mike's offensive numbers could further improve with sometimes a less aggressive hack.
