Sam King: 1B/LHP, (2026) Shepherd, MI. 5-foot-10, 180-pound. (66.1 mph bat speed average). (21.3 mph hand speed average). Begins in a wide stance with a controlled load, then uses a controlled stride. He found some barrels with some loud contact. Solid in the infield, recorded a position velocity of 62 mph; showed consistent hands, a developing exchange, and developing feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were developing.
