Uncommitted Spotlight: Bucher Has Love For The Game Of Baseball

NORTH CANTON - A year ago, a back injury prevented Sam Bucher from attending the Top Prospect Games. The North Canton Hoover senior-to-be is hoping the recently completed PBR event is helpful in his recruiting process.

“Brody Ware went last year and was impressed,” Bucher said of a high school teammate who has since committed to Liberty. “He talked highly of it. I was disappointed I couldn’t go, but excited about it this year.”

The 68th-rated player in Ohio’s 2019 class has made strides in his game since a year ago.

“I’ve put on 10 to 15 pounds and grown an inch,” the 6-2 190-pounder said. “I’ve been working harder in the weight room than in the past.”

The drive to improve has Bucher throwing harder.

“I used to sit in the low 80s but now I’m 85, 86, 87,” Bucher noted. “I’ve really been working on improving my velo. With age it’s gotten better.”
