Yea you have to think Rowdy already let teams know he is not signing. No way he should be there heading into the 10th Round.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) I like that pick a lot, and as others have said, this was a possibility with the early value picks the team made. Plus 3B is a serious weakness (IMO the biggest one) in the system. Hopefully Trey realizes that & signs. He has a Chase Headley build & has sort of the same stance with the high hand movements & SMOOTH swing from both sides. Both get their front foot up & down quickly at the plate as well.

The word "projectable" instantly comes to mind when watching a player like Michalczewski. Though he possesses broad frame, height and length, Jenks's shortstop looks like he's swimming in his uniform. He oozes upside with the bat. His hands cover the plate beautifully and explode through the zone. His broad hips and shoulders flip quickly ahead of his bat and he generates plenty of power despite his currently slim physique. Though he plays shortstop in high school, he projects as a third baseman in the pros but some teams my flirt with the idea of him at second if he doesn't totally fill out. His swing is vicious but clean. He rips through the zone with plus bat speed and great swing plane, generating hard contact with loft. He projects to have plus power down the road and he has the hands and swing to hit for average, as well. He's a bit of a free swinger and needs to polish his approach as he moves to the pro game. That said, his offensive upside is extremely high and will be the reason he is drafted highly. In the field, he has a big arm for third base and the range to do well there. He's not the smoothest athlete and he can look a little choppy at times. He needs some work, but he the basic traits for average defense are in place. He may not be a perfect prospect right now, but his upside is what has sent his stock shooting upwards. The low minors are littered with similar prospects such as Patrick Wisdom, Travis Harrison, Patrick Leonard and so on, and though such players have only mediocre success rates, Michalczewski's status as a switch-hitter and projectability make him a worthy gamble. College commitment: Oklahoma MLB Floor Given his rawness on both sides of the ball, it's entirely possible Michalczewki will struggle with contact and his defense and flame out in the minors. MLB Ceiling There's plenty to dream on here, and he can be a star hitter at third base if he develops properly. His power is plus, and he has the tools to hit for average too, even if he isn't there yet. Projected Draft Round If a team falls in love with his upside, Michalczewski could go as high as the supplemental round, and is unlikely to slide past the third. Will He Sign? It will take some money, but he'll likely go highly enough to turn pro.

6'03" 210lbs DOB: 02/27/95 | Scouting video Michalczewski plays shortstop at Jenks, but will almost certainly move to third base as a professional. He has a good approach at the plate and his bat speed allows him to let the ball get deep in the strike zone before starting to swing. Listed at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, Michalczewski already has good size and projects to have good power. While he is probably destined to move to the hot corner, he is a solid defender with a strong arm and should easily make the transition. Michalczewski is committed to Oklahoma. Switch Hitting 3rd baseman. Body: Michalczewski has a solid athletic frame. Physically he doesn’t have much more growing or filling out to do but he is a very physically strong player. He shows great agility and quickness. He has a strong lower half and rounded shoulders. Swing: Michalczewski has a slightly open stance with most of his weight on his bent back leg. He has his hands about shoulder high with loose grip and a slight bat wiggle. His load is a slight draw back of the hands and a slight weight shift to the back leg. When he strides, it is more towards the plate then the pitcher keeping his front side closed. His swing from the right side is a little longer but it is very fluid and shows quick hands. His swing from the left side shows great bat speed and is very direct to the ball. He shows the ability to hit for a good average and power from both sides of the plate. He shows a very good feel for hitting. Base running: Michalczewski has plus to above average speed with a 6.7 in the 60. He also shows very good base running skills. He has the ability to be a moderate base stealing threat. Defense: Michalczewski played all over the infield this season. It is my belief that he will end up settling in at 3B. He has good hands and good reactions to handle 3B. He shows a good strong arm but his footwork needs improvement for him keep under control. Summary: Trey Michalczewski is one of the must under the radar High School players. He has shown power and the ability to hit for average. He has the ability to have 4 to 5 above average tools. . For me, he is a sleeper on a national level, but the people in Oklahoma already know he can flat out play. Really hope we can sign him.

YEAAAAAAAA GREAT PICK!!! One of my guys.

Dang didnt see this catch from Jared Mitchell yet this season....IMPRESSIVE
