Imposing 6-foot-7, 220 pound frame on the mound. Long arm action. High-3/4 slot. Has been up to 89 this summer, working 86-88 with a mostly straight fastball. The slider is an intriguing pitch at 79-81 that generated some swing and miss with short/late break. Has ability to throw 80 mph changeup for strikes. Continues to get better each time we see him but certainly has not reached his ceiling yet.

Big 6-foot-7, 220 pound RHP continues to improve each time we see him. Just scratching the surface of his potential. Long/loose arm action. High 3/4 slot. Fastball works 86-88, occasional downhill plane. The 79-81 mph slider has become an out pitch with late break that produces swing and miss. Flashed a solid changeup at 80 mph. Will elevate fastball in two-strike counts. Fastball spin rate maxed at 2247 and slider at 2401. McMichael should have no problem adding velocity moving forward.
