Mike Belka is a 2017 OF/UT with a 6-0 165 lb. frame from Freehold, NJ who attends Freehold Borough. Medium-large frame with slender, athletic present build and good room to fill remaining. Ran 60 yard dash in 7.00 seconds flat. Sets up to hit from medium-based stance with slight knee bend and slightly open front hip, semi-active hands pre swing with good mechanical feel, drifts to front side at times, very short to ball with quick hands and a compact swing, made consistent contact to all fields, very quality bat to ball skills overall. Quick feet moving to the ball in the outfield, gets behind the ball well with quickness and athleticism, charges in and fields through the ball, gets off quick release with solid arm strength up to 78 MPH. Pitched as well, hip coil at balance point with back-turn deception, uncoils well and gets online to the plate, medium-length arm action from mid-three quarters a lot, fastball worked 70-73 MPH with good arm side on the pitch. Also showed curveball with 11/5 shape and medium break, some feel to spin the ball. Very good student.
