C/SS, (2023) Yough, PA. 6-foot, 175-pound athletic projectable frame. Starts in a balanced athletic stance with a smooth load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed is explosive, has a loose swing plane and balanced good extension on his finish. Produced a lot of loud contact and found lots of barrels. Aggressive approach. Behind the plate, has next level hands, athletic in control feet, and a quick transfer. Using a very quick arm action, showed consistent accuracy to the bag from a ¾ slot.
Physical: Athletic, projectable 6-foot, 175lb frame. 7.02 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Crouched, slightly coiled stance with the hands starting loose by the ear. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone towards a two-handed finish. Produced plenty of hard pull-side contact when staying inside the ball, grabbing a T92 mph exit velocity with a line-drive approach. Worked into the 321 foot distance range during his round.
Defensively: The backstop featured some hip mobility out of multiple stances; received softly on the corners from right-knee down. Pop times ranged between 2.01-2.09 with rhythmic feet that anticipated the catch. A quick exchange and 79 mph arm (H ¾) closes the gap on the front side.
Physical: 6-foot-0, 175 pounds; Lean, sturdy build. 7.08 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Short take back with the hands with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a flat swing path with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 92 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; utilizing a one knee approach while staying low during receiving. Hands work through the ball while standing up during transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot. 2.01-2.10 pop times. C - 76 MPH. INF - 84 MPH. At short, Sampson starts in an upright stance and releis on quick feet and a soft glove. The transfer is clean while he throws with a moderate arm action from a high 3/4 slot
Physical: Lean, athletic 6-foot, 165lb frame with some feel. 6.95 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Wider, crouched stance as the hands operated flush on the shoulder to start. Utilized a barrel-tip on time with a short lift and replace stride to initiate the bat head through a flat, quick rotational path into the hitting zone. Produced a strong pull-side approach when getting the barrel leveraged, notching a 56% line drive rate (via Trackman) during his round. Easy top of the order type presence with bat to ball skills to match, showing off adjustability to multiple different quadrants. Recorded a T93 mph bat-exit/87 mph average, working up to a 340+ foot distance at his peak (doubles power, good connection).
Defensively: The primary catcher featured a calm left knee down operation when receiving, using a soft glove hand at the catch. Pop times ranged from 2.20-2.24 with repeatable feet and medium posture at release (¾ slot, accurate, 76 mph arm). Stayed behind the ball with minimal pre-catch rhythm and repeated actions well. Moved over to shortstop, flashing up-tempo footwork and a fast, quick L ¾ arm across the diamond (83 mph). Maintained range in either direction with an accurate first step and held pace on each rep.
