LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Showcase
Michael Main is a 2007 right hand pitcher and right hand hitting outfielder from Deland HS, residing in Deltona, FL. He has a 6'2" 180 lb. frame that is lean, lithe, and sinewy strong, with fast twitch composition of the ridiculous variety. Regarded as one of the, if not the top talent in the 2007 class, he was ranked #1 among the 2006 PG National Top 100 pitchers and would have rated highly as a position player alone. Main's long term future appears to be strongest on the mound, but do not discount his position player status. On the mound he has a lightning quick arm with a high effort arm stroke that comes at hitters from a high 3/4 slot. His arm is loose and his delivery is pretty solid. With an explosive mid-90s FB that can reach up to 98, there is little doubt about his raw stuff. Mix in a tight 75-79 mph snappy curveball, thrown with good command, and now you have a legitimate two pitch guy. Then consider that he throws his 80 mph change-up with plus armspeed and his stuff borders on absurd. As his fastball control becomes command and he learns more about approaching hitters, he will get better and better. As a hitter, Main has plus bat speed and line drive power. His bat has a flat path through the zone, meaning his mistakes will leave the yard in the coming years. The ball exits his bat well and his hands do work well with a lower half that is in sync with his upper half. In the outfield he has that plus plus arm and is a ball hawk with a good fundamental approach to playing defense. There really is not a limit to how good he can be or what he can do and as he learns to slow the game down, look out. Main ran 4.34 home/1st and posted a blistering 6.43 60 yard time. Heading into the spring '07 season, Michael Main is one of a few players that will be mentioned as an upper first round talent.
