Michael Knox is a 2027 SS/3B with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Ocean, NJ who attends Christian Brothers Academy. Larger frame with well-proportioned strength present and projection remaining. Primary shortstop, takes efficient routes to the baseball and works through it at a deliberate pace. Displayed developing athleticism and lateral range in the dirt while fielding the ball with soft hands. Releases it from a lower arm slot. Delivered accurate throws across the diamond while recording arm strength up to 78 mph. Right-handed hitter, starts in a slightly open stance with wrapped hands and a high back elbow. Utilizes a negative toe-tap trigger for timing with rotational swing mechanics before working into a level bat path. Remains direct to the baseball, turning to the point of contact with tons of intent while occasionally collapsing his lower-half. Has plenty of evident strength in the hands with more power to project on as mechanics get refined. Posted an exit velocity of 86 mph. Ran a 7.49 sixty-yard dash. Great student.
