Sam
Ruta

Army commit. 6-foot-2, 185-pound left-handed hitter has the purest left-handed swing in his class wiith strong similarites to Alex Kirilloff at the same age. He starts from a square stance and uses a knee-to-knee load to begin. Hands fire effortlessly through contact while getting on plane very early. Creates backspin and shows signs of future power. Frame should carry additonal weight and strength in the future. Registered a bat exit velocity of 95 mph and flashed similar easy actions defensively. Glides around the infield with long strides and plays through the baseball. Showcased easy 84 mph arm strength across the diamond. Should draw considerable draft interest this spring.
