LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Michael Spencer is a 5'10" senior catcher from Indiana. He has good body life and quickness for the position, which helped him with his receiving and pop times, as well as his base running. He runs well with good instincts. Spencer has a short, wristy swing with the wood bat with a downward path that maximizes contact at the cost of power and loft. He picked up a couple of hits during one of the showcase games. While Spencer’s arm strength was just playable, he was able to post respectable pop times because of his quickness. Spencer also threw three innings at the showcase, striking out six of the ten hitters he faced without allowing a hit. Spencer didn’t throw hard at 72-74 mph, but had a very deceptive delivery, a 67 mph slurvy breaking ball, and a good ability to throw strikes. Spencer is also an outstanding student off the field with top grades and test scores.
