Uncommitted Spotlight: '23 Sam Kane
November 12, 2020
SAM KANE - IF/RHP / BISHOP MANOGUE
Sam Kane produced one best overall days at the Fall Underclass event yesterday at Las Vegas Ballpark. He showed feel for multiple infield positions at shortstop and first base where he flowed through the fielding process with ease into a smooth arm action that tied an event best Infield Velocity of 84 mph across the diamond. He drove the ball from gap to gap round of batting practice where we saw flashes of his present power evident by his 96 mph Exit Velocity. The Bishop Manogue product continues to prove himself as a hard worker with positively trending metrics at each of his Prep Baseball Report events. Though he did not pitch at the event, he does have some potential on the mound as well with a loose arm that should continue improving in the velocity category as he adds more physicality to his 5-foot-11 frame. Keep an eye on Sam Kane.
