Whether with Twins or UNC, Levi Michael will fit in

Posted Jun 16, 2011
University of North Carolina junior Levi Michael grew up in the small town of Welcome, N.C. and eventually left high school early to play for the Tar Heels in the 2009 season. Though the Twins' selection of Michael with the 30th pick of the 2011 MLB Draft will likely take him beyond the boundaries of the Tar Heel State that raised him, he is a man accustomed to adjusting on the fly.
