Michael Hendrickson, LHP/OF, Saline HS, 2014

Henrickson is a good looking 2014 prospect.  Standing at 6-foot-2 already he seems like he may have more to grow.  From the mound Henrickson was up to 83 MPH with his fastball and his breaking ball had some late tilt.  He threw that pitch between 68-69 MPH.  He threw his changeup for strikes as well, a pitch that he kept down nicely.  Hendrickson also plays for Saline a perennial state title contender so he is sure to know the game.
