Michaeloff is on a short list of "MVPitcher" from this event - easily navigating through his two innings of work with 6 strikeouts. The 6-foot-1, 185 pounder made quick work of the opposition with real feel for a quality three pitch mix that is only elevated by a deceptive, low 3/4 arm slot. There is a super low ease of operation here, allowing for an intriguing starters' upside. His fastball has worked up to 90, though sat 86-88 at this event, playing with heavy sink. The fastball sets the tunnel for two quality secondary offerings, a 75-78 mph sweeper that routinely spun north of 2500, and an upper-70s change that plays with nearly two feet of horizontal break. Michaeloff will be a solid late-addition to a recruiting class and could be an immediate impact arm at the next level.

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.
