During this time, he achieved a noteworthy 23-15 record as a pitcher and secured his place in the team's history by setting franchise records for the most wins and a single-season strikeout record in 2015.

His exceptional skills were already evident during his college years, where he earned the title of All-American pitcher for the University of Dallas in 2011. Michael left an indelible mark at the university, holding records for both single-season and career saves, as well as appearances.
