LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Sunshine West Showcase
Sam Hoffman is a 2006 OF/2B from Greenway HS in Glendale, AZ, with a 6'0", 175 lb. frame. Hoffman has a lean and athletic body with room for added strength. In the outfield he has good arm speed on his throws and the ball comes out clean. Hoffman gets good jumps on fly balls in the outfield with good anticipation. Offensively he hits from a straight away stance with quiet hands and no stride. During the games he showed better bat speed than he did in batting practice which is normal of many younger players. Hoffman has a good approach and uses his hands well to stay inside the ball, but he pulls off early at times and can't cover the outer third of the plate. Presently he has solid skills across the board and shows the athleticism to make adjustments. Hoffman is also an excellent student.
