Additional Comments: Finished 2007 with a 7-1 record with 6 wins against top 20 teams in the state, including 4 wins against top 10 teams (including #1 ranked Lexington Catholic). Finished with an impressive 1.53 ERA. Has been seen by a professional scout in Cincinnati in June 2007. Michael is a crafty, smart LHP that mixes his speeds well and gets excellent movement on all of his pitches to keep batters off balance. He has been gunned at 83 m.p.h.(Stalker) from the mound and at 85 from 1st to 3rd. He has amazing composure in big game situations and absolute confidence that he is going to win everytime he steps on the mound. His AB's were minimal this year, with 3 senior firstbasemen ahead of him, but last year he led the JV squad in nearly every hitting category including average, extra base hits, slugging percentage and RBI's.
AUGUST 2007 update:
Michael increased his velocity at a recent showcase, being gunned at 84 m.p.h. (Stalker) from the mound.
