INF Gavin Michaels (Normal Community; Cincinnati commit) had one of the best all-around days in attendance. He started things off by turning in a 6.47 in the 60, the best of the day. He carried it right into his round of BP where he showed loose, twitchy hands and a flat swing, creating backspin and line-drives while working hard on the barrel consistently, averaging 100 mph for his EV while peaking at 103 mph (T391โ) - also averaging 23 mph for his hand-speed, 75 mph for his bat-speed and 21 Gs for his rotational acceleration. On the infield, heโs an athletic mover with steady hands, displaying a quick first step with range to either side of his glove. The arm plays with some effort and strength across, peaking at 93 mph. High-level athlete with the ability to play all over the diamond if needed.ย
