Samuel Zurcher: RHP/1B, (2023) Indian Valley, OH. 6-foot-2, 218-pound. During batting practice, Zurcher's best exit velocity was 93 mph. (65.7 mph bat speed average). (21.0 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a quick load, then used a controlled small leg kick. Bat speed was quick, and displayed a loose uphill swing plane. Solid while in the infield, recorded position velocities up to 79 mph; had sure hands, a natural exchange, and consistent footwork. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Had a quick arm action with a high ¾ slot. Recorded a time of 7.18 in the 60-yard dash. On the mound, showing consistent arm speed he used a high ¾ arm angle with a clean arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses some effort. Threw his fastball 81-84 mph. Had slight running action. (Max spin 1945; Avg 1825). His 11/5 curveball (75-76) had slurvey action. (Max spin 2296; Avg 2282). He had slight action on his changeup (76-78).

6-foot-1, 240-pound strong, physical body frame. From the mound he throws with regular effort to his delivery landing in a straight line at foot strike finishing with his momentum carrying toward the plate. Throws with average arm speed through a ¾ slot. Fastball was mostly true through the zone ranging from 78-80 mph and topping out at 82 mph. Curveball is a good offering with an 11/5 shape, good depth, sharpness and late bite at 69-71 mph. Throws his changeup with good arm speed between 72-74 mph.
