Notes on Austin: Mike comes to Muscle Shoals from Dallastown, Pennsylvania. He is coming off a very successful fall in which he led the Patriots in hitting. He is working hard on the defensive part of his game in order to become more of a complete player. Mike has the potential to be a very good hitter in this league and will provide some power from the left side of the plate.  Mike will see time at second base and could see time as a DH.  He prepped at Dallastown High school in Pennsylvania.  As a senior he hit 500%, with 15 doubles, 3 triples and 2 homeruns.  Mike was an All County performer and led his team to the County Championship.

 

Langston on Austin: “Mike has a chance to be a very good player before he leaves our program.  He loves to hit and gives you a chance to drive the ball in the gap every time he steps to the plate.”
