John Micheal Shirley is a 2015 RHP/3B with a 6-3 160 lb. frame from Mobile, AL who attends UMS Wright Prep School. Tall, thin, long limbed build, young look, very projectable physically. Rotational delivery, stays over rubber well, tends to open front side early, compact arm action, 3/4's slot, some effort on release. Fastball to 81 mph, mostly straight, curveball best pitch, hard spin and bite at times, has depth and commands it well. Change also a quality pitch, should throw more often. Around the zone with all three pitches, very effective when mixing. Right handed hitter, long wrapped swing, stays over his back side and lifts, good loose extension out front, leverage at contact, has power potential with additional strength. Very good student.
