Sanderson’s status as an upper tier left-handed bat in Missouri has become evident to our staff over the last calendar year and he did nothing but cement that at the Super 17. Sanderson juiced a few loud balls off the barrels throughout the weekend, including two monster home runs in a playoff win for Marucci Midwest. The second of those two came in a clutch spot, as it ultimately gave his team a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Standing at a physically built 6-foot-2, 200-pounds, Sanderson looks like a middle-of-the-order masher at the next level. He’s committed to Nebraska.
