06/22/2024 - BF Evaluation Experience at Myrtle Beach Samuel is a solid catcher who is a prospect on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering balls out front. Pop times showed in 2.59 range. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path, creating extension. 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. With 5 years to further develop, Samuel has potential with time and room to progress his game.
