07/12/2018 - Advanced Training and Competition at the International Cup (Grad Years 2018-2022) Samantha returns to Softball Factory for her 2nd player development event. In the box, Samantha has an aggressive approach. She works to put the ball in play and works opposite field. Working to be on time to contact and staying inside the ball will allow her to see an increase in her power production. At 1B, Samantha handles the routine play. She hustles to the bag and presents a good target for her defense. Working to field the ball out in front and playing through will allow her to gain momentum to her target. Overall, Samantha has a love for the game and will continue to improve with hard work.
05/31/2018 - Softball Factory College World Series Select Training (Grad Year 2018-2022) Samantha is a 2022 right handed first baseman with a developing skill set. Defensively, she stays low and athletic in her fielding position and has a clean exchange on her throws to her target. She moves well through each play but needs to focus on staying lighter on her feet rather than on her heels so she can create more range laterally. Offensively, she has a soft stride in the box and as the ability to spray the ball to all sides of the field. She needs more leg drive through her swing but has the potential to create solid pop behind her contact. Overall, if Samantha works hard she can do what it takes to play at the next level.
02/19/2018 - Interactive Video Program - Washington (Pittsburgh), PA Samantha is a 2022 right handed first baseman with a developing skill set. Defensively, she has fluid footwork and a square fielding position. She has soft hands when fielding the ball and solid momentum through the play to her target. She keeps her glove out front and makes routine plays. By focusing on being smoother on her backhand and not stabbing at the ball she will start to see more consistency on balls hit to her backhand side. Offensively, Samantha has an athletic set up in the box and a strong base. Her hips and hands work well together and she shows power to her pull side. She drives through her back side well creating harder contact. Overall, she hustles hard and if she continues to work hard she will do what it takes to play at the next level.
