Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average

Side step transitions to Pivot, High leg lift. Slight coil. Front leg has Up/Down/Extend Delivery Stride foot is in line . Momentum is to the 3B side. Extended arc on backside. 3⁄4 Release Good push though with front side, can improve FB 76-79 improving, has some ASR SL 71 Still developing with potential CH 70 Strong arm with potential to develop and refine mechanics Good Follow as he progresses
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 6-foot-2, 180-pounds
Run: 7.04
Hit: Left-handed hitter has a tall, slightly narrow stance to start with a small toe tap into a neutral stride. Has good rear side acceleration and does a good job staying balanced. Little hand movement on stride. Has a short quick, compact swing. Does a good job staying on plane with all pitches.High finish. Athletic, classic looking left hand hitter. Exit velocity of 84.
Power: Gap to gap. Has the ability to hit to all parts of the field.
Arm: Arm velocity of 79. Infield velocity of 74. Has a loose over the top arm action.
Defense: Does a good job coming to the ball. Fields the ball to the side of his body allowing him to have a clean and quick transfer. Has a natural outfield footwork. Has soft hands at first. Good footwork around the bag. Has the ability to throw from a lower arm slot on double plays.
6-foot-2, 172-pounds. Side step transitions to pivot. Waist high leg lift. Tall to fall delivery with slightly closed stride foot and works across his body. Head pull, momentum and follow through created to glove side. Long deep arc to ¾ release. Glove side leverage is minimal. Fastball 74-76 with some run. Slider 65-66 with gradual break and good feel. Good potential for development. Changeup 66-68 and he slows arm speed slightly. Big, raw left-handed pitcher will be fun to watch develop.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-foot-2, 172-pounds
Run: 4.40 home to first
Hit: Left-handed hitter with wide foundation and open front side. Shift for load to stacked rear side. Consistent stride to launch, gets to parallel each time. Hands start high and have back/up simple load. Some length in arm angles, but still creates quick direct path through ball. Demonstrated quickness and strength in swing. Good rear side acceleration and in sync with hands. Creates good rotational velo. Gap to gap approach with exit velocity of 87. Would peg Samuel as a “high ceiling” guy. Room and potential for growth.
Power: Yes. Power potential as his swing refines.
Arm: Outfield velocity of 75. Lefty aligns hips and shoulders on consistent basis. Deep arc with high ¾ release.
Defense: Good movements to ball, can benefit with ground ball reps. Like his athleticism and catch to release.
