Michel looks to have gotten a bit taller and added to his frame during the offseason. Still lanky with plenty of projection in his frame. Fastball was consistent 83-85, touched 86, higher armslot created steep downward plane on his pitches, late armside life to his fastball as well. Curveball was 69-72 with some sharpness. Looked good for first live outing of the spring. Was consistently around the zone.

Curveball was 70-74 with sharp hard 11/5 break and was thrown with good armspeed, swing and miss pitch. Changeup was 79-81 with heavy fade and good armspeed. Showed ability to command all three pitches in the strike zone.
