01/19/2024 - 2024 Baseball Factory Rookie Pre-Season All-America Tournament Sam is a 2027 SS/OF out of Cedar Rapids, IA who showcased his talents at the BF Rookie Pre-Season All-America Tournament. At SS, he starts from an athletic position always anticipating the ball. He fields out front and has a quick and 2-hand exchange. He throws from multiple arm slots with good accuracy on his throws. At the plate, this right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and has a comfortable hand slot. He has a soft but effective stride. Sam has good connection and produced a lot of line drives during batting practice. With several years left of high school baseball, we anticipate Sam to continue to grow on the field as he gets stronger.
