07/18/2017 - College PREP - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Sam continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now an excellent runner at 6.88. At 2B, defensive abilities are solid as he displays clean actions. Feet are active as he works around balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is soft/sure and he presents well out front. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally, displaying range in covering a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, hitting/power potential has improved through an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing and works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing and shows plus barrel accuracy.
