04/07/2024 - National Showcase - Charlottesville, VA Sam is an athletic SS/RHP who has a promising future on the diamond. At SS, he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean and presents out front. Throws are accurate with carry (83 mph velocity) to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. 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. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 75-76 mph with cutting action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with cutting action. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. With 3 years to further develop, Sam has a big upside and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
