01/31/2010 - College PREP - San Diego, CA Samuel is a 2B with an athletic looking frame that shows projection as he continues to physically mature. Foot speed is above average as indicated by his 7.03 60 time. Feet are active and aggressive in working around to play through the baseball. Hands are soft, clean and sure, presented down / out in front of his body. Backhand is solid and he is not afraid to use it. Throws are accurate as hands and feet work well together in getting rid of the baseball quickly. Offensively, Katz makes consistent contact showing a solid feel for the barrel through a balanced approach. Swing path gets long with barrel getting out around the baseball. Power numbers will continue to increase as he learns to transfer weight more efficiently through the swing. Samuel has potential to be a solid 2B and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he improves.
