02/18/2013 - College PREP - Stillwater (Minneapolis), MN Michaela is a steady C with a balanced skill set on both sides of the ball. Defensively, she is athletic with soft, sure hands, active feet and is solid on the block. She gets her body in a good position with good angles on balls in the dirt but needs to do a better job of securing the 5 hole with an early glove. To further develop, she should continue to work on staying in line to throw, gaining a small amount of ground when coming out of her stance to throw and widening her stance to give her more coverage before receiving. At the plate, Michaela uses a square set up with a downward back load, short stride, stable balance and an aggressive path to the ball. She displays good rhythm throughout her swing, is on time with her front foot and has good control of her barrel. She works to the middle and will benefit from staying through contact with her barrel to create extension, keeping her front side on the ball longer before launching to contact and using lower half aggressively on every swing. Overall, Michaela is a great kid with a lot of potential. She should continue to seek quality opponents/instruction to ensure her progression continues.
