Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • C/SSPosition Projection

10/18/2020 - All-In Membership - Charlotte, NC Samuel is a talented 2-way prospect who continue to progress. Behind the dish, he sits in well with athletic actions and flexion. He is aggressive/quick laterally to body/center pitches in the dirt off of his chest. Transfer is quick with accurate throws down to 2B - pop times now at 2.19. At SS, he has active prep and works right to left into an athletic fielding position. Hands are soft as he funnels smoothly working in-line toward his target at 1B. As a hitter, this righty stands in with centered balance, a solid base and fluid rhythm to load. Hands are quick generating whip as he connects with pop and sprays the ball from gap to gap. Francis is a skilled athlete who will make an impact in this only his junior year.

08/09/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Kannapolis (Charlotte), NC Samuel is a solid, strong catcher who has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. Quick lateral movements allow him to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off of a soft chest. Pop times showed in 2.37 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine through an athletic setup. He is aggressive as he attacks balls through a level swing path. Hands are quick (87 mph exit velocity) and makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. With 2 years to further develop, Samuel has potential with time and room to progress his game.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
