Uncommitted. Stands in at a well-proportioned 6-foot, 180-pounds, and had a solid showing with the bat for the Warriors. Batting out of the cleanup spot, Micklinghoff went 1-for-3, with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base. The right-handed hitter showed an aggressive approach, hunting fastballs early in counts. He sets up with a crouched, balanced setup, with his hands loading back with the rest of his body onto his backside. His swing works slightly uphill while staying in the zone for a long time. Micklinghoff is an uncommitted middle of the order bat to follow the rest of the spring.
