LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 14U Midwest Showcase
Sam Slodic is a 2022 SS/RHP with a 5-10 145 lb. frame from Mentor, OH who attends Notre Dame Cathedral Latin. Square shouldered young build, lots of room to get stronger. 7.95 runner, fields the ball cleanly out front, has soft hands at the ball and gets rid of the ball quickly, footwork still developing on his throws. Right handed hitter, very open stance with a low hand start, multiple toe taps to get to even, rotational upper body swing, line drive contact oriented swing, mostly opposite field contact, will need to simplify to get consistent timing. Also pitched, stays tall over the rubber in his delivery, full arm action to a 3/4's arm slot, front side opens early. Mid-70's fastball, aggressive with his fastball and pitches off it. Has good spin and consistency with his curveball, 11/5 shape. Liked throwing a mid-60's knuckleball with some tumble when he got to two strikes.
