As we conclude 2025, Prep Baseball Oregon continues our series of Player Spotlights. This series aims to highlight standout performers at our top invite-only events, including the PNW State Games, Future Games, and West Coast Super Sophomore Games. Prep Baseball spotlights aim to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
Today, we spotlight RHP/INF Samuel Hoda. The two-way talent from Sprague High School was seen at multiple events this year, impressing and improving with each look.
