2024 Future Games: Gavin Michaels (Normal Community) left the Future Games a big winner for Team lllinois. An athletic, wiry frame with plenty more to come, Michaels checks in at 6-foot, 155-pounds. Throughout gameplay, he reached base multiple times on infield singles, showcasing his speed and baserunning IQ around the base paths throughout the entire event. He’s an athletic, clean defender, too, showing the ability to play many different positions on the field. Michaels showed some intriguing tools during the showcase, starting off by running a 6.67 60 time and jumping 32.2 inches. During batting practice, he averaged 86.7 mph (T95.8 mph) off the bat, while sending his farthest hit ball 350 feet. His BLAST metrics were intriguing as well, as his average bat speed was 75.2 mph (T81.8 mph), and his average rotational acceleration was 21.5 mph, good for the second highest on Team Illinois. He’s a highly athletic prospect with plenty of upside, and he remains a must-know uncommitted prospect from the event.

Possessing an athletic and proportionate 5-foot-11, 159-pound frame with room for growth, Gavin Michaels was impressive at the plate, on the bases, and in the field for the Rhinos. The right-handed leadoff batter went 2-for-2 with a walk hitting a ground ball to the left side of the field, then a ground ball to the right side of the field. Michaels is quick out of the box and on the bases as his home-to first time is 4.21 seconds. He stole three bases on the day. Michaels covers a lot of ground in the field and has a smooth and fluid throw from short to first.
