LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Atlantic Coast Top Prospect Showcase
Michael Vaughn is a 2007 C/1B/RHP from Hopewell HS in Cornelius, NC with a 6'2", 215 lb. frame. Michael has a strong build and produced a good pop time of 2.02 and a fastball topping out at 85. At the plate, Michael uses his raw power to drive the ball from gap to gap. Michael has good present strength in his swing but often lacks rhythm and tends to reach for the ball. Michael's best position on the field was at catcher. Behind the plate, Michael has a good catchers build and showed off an accurate arm with a consistent release. On the mound Michael throws from a high 3/4 slot with medium effort. He keeps the ball low in the zone and has good depth on a 12 to 6 CB. His delivery is somewhat herky jerky and could throw harder if he tightened up mechanics. Michael's game is based on his raw power and he looks like he could be a solid catcher at a mid-level Division I School.
