06/29/2023 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (HS) Sam is a tall, athletic 2B who has a promising future on the diamond. At 2B, defensive abilities are solid as he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve his foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry (83 mph velocity) to his target. At the plate, hitting / power are solid through an open setup. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is very coachable. Sam has a lot of potential with time and room to progress his game.
