I've seen Michael Choice play a few times now and I really like his cool comfortable demeanor out on the field. The Stockton Ports Gameday Program said that Choice hangs out with Torii Hunter in the off season so playing in A+ minor league ball must seem like nothing to Michael. The pitcher for Choice's first 3 AB's of the night was Arizona Diamondbacks top pitching prospect - left-hander Tyler Skaggs. Choice showed patience at the plate against Skaggs, drew a walk but was also frozen by a Skaggs curveball during his 2nd AB. A's fans should be excited that a young player like Choice already displays above average discipline at the plate. Choice was the #10 pick in the 2010 MLB Draft and he could end up in Oakland in a few short years.
The video is of Choice's 4th AB in the game against Rawhide right handed pitcher Diogenes Rosario. You can see that Choice has an interesting foot curl as he begins to time up the pitch. He worked it to a 3-1 hitters count but flied out to RF.
