Sam
Dodd

6-foot-3, 190 pounds; big, physical build. Dodd lulls batters with a slow tempo which complements his loose, clean, and easy arm action that gets on hitters quick with 80-82 mph velocity that looks quicker through the zone. It’s a straight four-seamer from an over-the-top slot with some steepness that’s tough to barrel. He effectively matched it with a well-tunnelled 12/6 curveball, 67-70 mph, that flashes bite and depth. He struck out five in four frames against a highly competitive STiKS Black lineup. He also offers some two-way appeal for his strong right-handed bat and reliable actions at third base.
