Michael Palazzone is a 2008 RHP with a 6'3'', 190 lb. frame from Marietta, GA who attends Lassiter HS. He has a lean projectable build that should continue to get stronger as he matures. Palazzone has a fluid delivery with a backward shoulder tilt and a true over the top release point. He gets outstanding downward plane and leverage to the plate and the ball comes out his hand easily. Palazzone's curveball is simply the best in the 2008 class and the best in many other classes past and future. It is big and sharp and nasty and has straight down 12/6 break that makes it very difficult to make contact with. Usually a big downer curveball is the hardest pitch to control but that's never been a problem with Palazzone. Palazzone usually throws in the low 90's during regular games and topped out at 94 mph durinig the short showcase outing. His 81 mph change up is also a potential plus pitch and doesn't get the recognition that his curveball does but is a legit weapon as well. Palazzone's unusual over the top pitching mechanics sometimes give scouts a pause but his stuff is superior and is his ability to pitch and command his plus stuff very polished. He is a very good student with a verbal commitment to Georgia. Selected to 2007 Aflac All-American team.

Michael Pallazone is a 6'4"/170, (2008) right handed pitcher from Marietta,GA with outstanding upside. He has a classic projectable pitcher's body and is just going to keep getting bigger and stronger. Palazzone has a very unusual arm action and delivery. He comes straight over the top with some humping up action to get over his front side. It's unconventional but it works for him. His arm is quick and smooth through release. Palazzone's fastball was in the 85-88 mph range and was pretty straight. He commands his fastball well, especially to the outside half. Palazzone's out pitch is a nasty downer 12/6 curveball at 66 mph. Some have said he doesn't throw his curveball hard enough but we don't buy into that. It's one of the best breaking balls in the country. If it broke at any more of a downward angle it would be a screwball. Palazzone has pitched at a high level of competition from a young age and is very polished and is a proven big game winner. One of the best in the country and it's sometimes hard to remember he's a 2008 prospect.
