11/08/2012 - Baseball Factory Training & Competition at Pirate City Mitchel is an athletic, strong OF that will graduate in 2013. Foot speed is solid as indicated by his 7.32 60 time. Feet are active / aggressive as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls but needs to work on getting behind balls more to play through with momentum to his target. Throws are accurate, flashing carry as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. He will benefit by raising arm slot and building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Yard shows a solid setup with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed to and through the ball at contact. He makes consistent contact with power numbers improving as he learns to use his lower half more. At the event, he was 2 for 5. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and plays the game hard. Mitchel has abilities with a lot of room to improve.
