LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Ohio Valley Showcase
Sam Hein is a 2018 RHP/OF, 3B with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Owensboro, KY who attends Owensboro Catholic. Large frame with solid, athletic build at present; projects well moving forward. Ran 60 yard dash in 6.88 seconds. Primary pitcher, short strider with repeatable delivery overall, clean and compact arm action up to high three quarters arm slot. Fastball worked 75-79 MPH with good life to arm side, runs it inside on right-handed hitters and gets weak contact as a result. Shows shorter slider with tight spin, has good feel for his changeup with fading action off of hand. Did a very good job getting quick outs by missing barrels due to movement and sequencing. Sets up to hit from spread out, slightly squatted stance, drives forward into swing well in lower half and generates good hip torque. Leveraged swing plane with good strength and bat speed, shows ability to drive the ball into the air consistently. Worked out defensively in the outfield, moves well to the ball and is light on feet, fields well out front and moves into crow up efficiently and gets off quick release with arm strength clocked up to 79 MPH. Good student.
