07/25/2018 - Under Armour Southwest Championships 17U, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One Sam continues to show progress in his baseball abilities. At 2B, he displays smooth fluid actions. Feet are aggressive as he attacks balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is soft and presents well out front. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. Hands / feet work well together as he gets rid of the baseball quickly with accuracy on his throws. He will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball utilizing all fields and has strength in his swing through a line drive approach. At the event, he was 3 for 9. Mental makeup may be his best tool as he plays the game the right way.
