Uncommitted Spotlight: Sam Juenger
December 28, 2020
Our second uncommitted senior spotlight of the day is St. Louis Priory OF Sam Juenger, the 123rd overall prospect in our 2021 rankings for Missouri.
We last saw Juenger at the St. Louis Gamers Scout Day back in February, where he took one of the more memorable rounds of batting practice. The ball seemingly exploded off his barrel, working gap-to-gap and consistently making physical contact. It’s certainly an upside offensive profile that can play at the next level.
You can find his full profile, with video and stats, down below:
