Michael Marcus, Desert Vista (AZ), 2024
Positional Profile: RHP/2B
Body: 6-foot-1, 150-pounds. Room for physical maturity.
Hit: RHH. Open in stance, base about shoulder width. Hands held lower in front of chest with bat held vertically. Weight is on backside. Uses a knee to knee leg kick. Gets back to a good balanced position. Little bit of an armsy swing, would benefit from more lower half involvement. Path is slightly uphill.
Power: 84.05 max exit velocity, averaged 74.54 mph. 276’ max distance. Swing works best to the middle. Creates some top spin flight to the pull side.
Arm: INF - 76 mph. Throws from a 3/4 slot, arm strength can play from the left side. Throws from different slots when needed.
Defense: Split step is on time with a good first step. After a good first step, gets stationary with feet at times. Hands work well when he puts himself in the right spot.
Run: 7.39 runner in the 60.
