An intriguing uncommitted arm from the event was RHP Ryne Michaeloff (Homestead). The 6-foot-1, 180 pounder moves with easy pace down the slope, attacking with a loose, full arm swing that releases from a near-sidearm slot. The slot induces 16" of horizontal break on an 85-86, touching 86.4 mph fastball. Michaeloff's slider sweeps at -15" of horizontal, working at 74-76 mph, with 2600+ spin. His changeup tunnels off the fastball, working at 78-80 mph, with 22.1" of horizontal break on average. The arm slot provides a tough look on hitters, and the stuff continues to tick up.
