LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 National Underclass East Showcase
Samuel Simonds is a 2024 1B/RHP, 3B with a 6-2 180 lb. frame from Fernandina Beach, FL who attends Fernandina Beach. Recorded a 7.40 second sixty-yard dash time. Medium frame with lean, tightly wound build and room to add strength. Tons of projection throughout the frame that will continue to expand as he matures. Right-handed pitcher that works at a fast pace, while incorporating a segmented delivery and deception with his arm and legs. Clean, high three-quarters arm slot with quickness to his arm stroke that he repeats consistently. Fastball worked in the mid-to-upper 70s for the duration of his outing, topping out at 78 mph in this look with short arm-side life. Mixed in both curveball and changeup as secondary offerings, maintaining arm speed effectively and showing the ability to land them for strikes. Secondary outfielder that incorporated deliberate footwork into the fielding process with a elongated gather and slightly uphill throwing motion. Stays in-line towards target fairly well, while recording arm strength up to 74 mph in drills. Right-handed hitter that hits from a narrow, slightly open stance with a high hand set, high back elbow and hanging leg lift trigger. Intent based swing mechanics with developing bat-to-ball skills and some inconsistencies with delivering the barrel on time. Pull-side approach with strength through contact and loud impact when in-sync. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and refinement, plenty of projection remaining with vast physical upside. Good Student.
