The Book on Michael Main
Prospect Info
Michael Main
Born 12/14/1988
RHP, TEX
An intriguing prospect, Main was drafted as a two-way player (starter and right fielder) out of high school, thanks to his best-of-class right arm. He's been clocked at 98mph with his fastball, and his hard curve is developing so fast that it's already his go-to pitch.
He needs a changeup or another off-speed pitch, and his control isn't all there yet, but scouts are in love with his smooth, carbon-copy pitching mechanics. If he can stay healthy while picking up secondary pitches and improved control, he'll be a valuable major leaguer in the near future. He's looking like a middle-of-rotation starter right now, but as his control improves he could morph into an ace.
