Miceli is a versatile 5-foot-7, 160 pound left-handed hitting catcher/infield prospect. He hits out of a wide, slightly open stance with the hands set close to the body. The load is short and allows him to get stacked over the back leg with the hands in a strong launch position. Miceli shows quick hands and an active lower half, producing a lot of hard contact during the batting practice and a max exit velocity of 85 MPH.
Behind the plate, he was 68 MPH on his throws. The initial set-up is balanced, with the glove positioned in the middle of the chest. The feet transition well into a strong position to throw. The hips and the shoulders follow, allowing the arm-swing to be clean. The ball exchange is good and takes place right off the back shoulder. As he works through the throw, he recoils a bit off the front leg, causing the arm to slow through the finish.
In the infield, he was 70 MPH on his throws across the diamond. The footwork was a bit choppy before breaking down into a good fielding position. The glove is positioned out front and he works through the ground ball well, creating a good line with the target. The arm works out of a short ¾ slot and he finishes through the play.

5-foot-7, 140 pound left-handed hitting had a tee exit velocity of 70 mph. He hits out of a wide, slightly open stance, with the hands set closer to the midline. The load is triggered off a knee to knee leg kick. The hands move into a strong position to hit. As the swing begins, the bat path is flat to and through the zone. During the BP, he showed good hands and the ability to drive the baseball.
In the infield, he was 63 mph across the diamond. The feet are light and allow him to work into a good fielding position. The glove is relaxed and soft as he plays the ground ball. As he works through the ball, he transitions well into the throwing position, in line with the target.
Behind the plate, he was 63 mph down to second base. The set-up is balanced, with the glove positioned in the middle of the chest. As he transitions to throw, the glove to hand exchange is, with the ball getting to a good position. The feet pivot into a square position, with more of his weight on the outside of his stride foot. This is causing him to fall toward third base on most of his throws. The arm-swing is loose and with a slight adjustment to the landing foot could help create a more consistent throwing motion.
