Aamir Mitchell

Aamir is a young & extremely projectable middle infielder with a long, athletic frame with room to keep adding lean strength throughout. Athletic movements and moves pretty freely on the field. Defensively shows sound actions at SS. Active lower half and light on his feet with an ability to move well in all directions with good body control. Hands work nicely and ball sticks in his glove. Shows some feel to work thru the ball well. Bit of a lower slot throwing but works thru the ball nicely to help throws show some carry and gets rid of the ball quickly. Accurate throws and arm strength will continue to improve as he matures. Will need to keep working on his agility as he continues to grow but will be able to stay on the dirt and likely in the middle of the field. Offensively Aamir shows proper hitting mechanics and a pretty low maintenance swing. Strength gains will be critical but has quick hands with a direct path to the ball. Short to it and long thru it with quality barrel accuracy. Shows some feel to hit and should grow into some power as he continues to add strength. Aamir is not a burner (7.4 60) but has long strides and can still improve his speed, see him settling in as at least an average runner. Lot of upside remaining and a very projectable body and tool set. Think he could be a late blooming, smaller D1 school recruiting target.
