01/13/2017 - 2017 Softball Factory All-America Pre-Season Tournament Samantha returns to Softball Factory to show she is ready to take her game to the next level. During game play Samantha proved to be a consistent player offensively and defensively. In the box Samantha showed good pitch selection working the count in her favor. She is a contact hitter and is able to put the ball in play with runners on. She is a spray hitter and working to her front foot down sooner will allow her to see more line drive power. Defensively Samantha handled the routine plays well and made accurate throws to her target. She hustles every play and is willing to get dirty to keep the ball in front. Playing through the ball will allow her to cut down the distance to her target and engage her lower half to create more carry on her throws. Overall Samantha is coachable player and with continued reps and exposure she will have the opportunity to take her game to the next level.
08/07/2016 - College PREP - Louisville, KY Samantha is a 2019 shortstop with a well-balanced skill set. Defensively, Samantha has quick feet and good body control. She fields the ball with soft hands and follows with consistent throws. Samantha also has good positioning and footwork on double plays. By working on presenting her glove and working with more angles to the ball, Samantha will be able to make more plays and become smoother/more fluid with her overall glove work. Offensively, Samantha displays a good athletic presence and has good rhythm in the box. She activates her hands well, loads on time, and drives her lower half well. Samantha is fluid to contact and stays inside the ball consistently. She works well with her hips/hands and stays loose through extension. By extending more and working more on her timing, Samantha will only gain more explosion to contact along with consistency. Overall, Samantha is athletic and will work hard on what is needed to take her game to the next level.
