06/03/2021 - Softball Factory College World Series - Prospects Select Training Samantha is a strong 2022 OF/1B that attended the College World Series Select Training Event! In the OF, Samantha does a great job of using her voice and is a leader on defense. She has a strong arm, and makes accurate throws. She has a clean exchange and release on her throws. Something for her to work on is taking a quicker first step to the ball and having better range on defense. Hitting wise, she has a good setup in the box and makes hard consistent contact. She is a line drive hitter and has good extension on her swing. If Samantha can work on driving her lower half and hips more, she will be even stronger at the plate. Samantha was great to work with, and our coaching staff is looking forward to working with her in the future!
02/28/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Daytona Beach, FL Samantha continues to shine on the diamond. At the plate is where she shows best through a squared setup. Hands are quick (61 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. She stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. At 1B, she displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean and presents well out front. In the OF, she takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. Feet are active but needs to work to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to her target. Range will increase as she improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry to her target but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program.
