Michael Elefante - C/P

College: Undecided
Class: 2011
HS: Chapel Hill

Coach Partin on Elefante: "Elefante is going to prove to everybody that he is one of the top 2011 prospects in North Carolina this summer. He's a great find for us. He's 6'-0" 170 lbs as a freshman - and he possesses a terrific throwing arm. Elefante will help man the "2" position for us this year. He's in the 2-flat range already. This guy can really throw the baseball. He's got a quick bat and a good swing from the right-side too - he's strong. From the mound he's in the 81-82 mph range and flashes the makings of a good breakingball. We're really excited to have him sporting a Dirtbag uniform."
