Mitchell
Machi

2/23/13 Machi showed well in the outfield with athletic actions and good carry on throws of 85 mph to the plate. With his 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame he will most likely be slotted as a corner outfielder at the next level. He earned his spot at the top of the Class of 2014 outfielders with an incredible round of batting practice. Machi used his 96 mph bat exit velocity, tops on the day among all prospects at the event, to punish the baseball repeatedly. He displayed excellent timing and rhythm to his swing while squaring every pitch and driving the baseball. Machi sat 82-83 on the mound out of a high 3/4 arm slot. We saw Machi in August sitting 84-85 and touching 86. He showcased a 65 mph 11/5 breaking curveball, a 68 mph slider that showed late movement and a 73 mph changeup thrown at near fastball arm speed. Machi has the potential to be a two-way guy at the next level for the right program.

8/23/12 Machi shined as a two-way threat. Machi began the night by taking an electric round of batting practice, repeatedly driving balls to and off of the wall in left field. He followed his offensive performance up by showcasing the top outfield arm of the event at 85mph. He then went on to work two solid innings on the mound for the white team topping at 86mph with his fastball. Machi has the potential to be a two-way player at the next level.
