Sam Roberts is a 2007 left hand hitting 3rd baseman/right hand pitcher from Prince George HS, residing in Prince George, VA. He has a thin and wiry body type, though pretty athletic, with a 6'2" 170 lb. frame. Roberts is a talented young player with a good future. He was ranked #89 among PG National Top 100 position players and is still a long way from being physically developed. Other players' abilities his age show up a bit more right now because they are further along the in body maturation. When Roberts catches them in a few years, his baseball skills will have passed many of them by, including many that are ranked ahead of him now. He hits from an open stance and pretty much stays open during his swing. His hands are good hitting hands and at this point his swing is a bit inside out, which can be a good indication of how his bat will develop in the future. As he gets stronger, the bat head is going to start flying faster, lagging behind until it whips to being squared up at contact. There are times that his swing is pretty lively and he is a good contact line-drive type hitter with some feel for hitting. He has a good oppo stroke and lets the ball travel and when he swings, it is an aggressive swing. In the field Roberts shows off a loose arm with above average raw arm strength. He has some feel for the game and for the defensive half. Roberts good hitting hands also translate to his fielding. There really isn't anything he lacks at this point, in a baseball skills sense. It is all about physical development. Roberts did not pitch at PG National but has been seen pretty good on the hill, where his quick arm works. As a runner he was 4.39 home/1st and posted a 7.13 60 yard time. He likely will improve his running as well in the near future. He is a D1 player and should develop nicely as a pro prospect in college.

Sam is an exciting, wiry, strong 6-0/145 lb. 2007 outfielder from Prince George, Virginia. He will "wow you" with his skills and is exciting to watch play the game. He shows professional arm strength at 86mph from the outfield with polished, clean, and quick actions. He hits from the left side with a strong, wide base with nice balance throughout his swing. He has a slight knee lift trigger and a nice load with a line drive swing plane. He shows some power that will only get better. He is young and developing, but a very good player now. When he matures he is going to be REAL good. This is one to follow very closely.

Sam Roberts -- Roberts, a freshman, is the younger brother of 2005 catching prospect Mike Roberts but the two are not similar athletes. While Mike is a medium bodied right handed hitting catcher, Sam is left handed hitting outfielder who projects to get big and strong over the next couple of years. If he gets to 6-2, 190, Roberts is going to be a top level prospect. He already runs very well for his age and shows close to average big league arm strength from right field right now. Roberts swing is geared to loft and pull the ball and he should have tremendous power potential as he grows up. He hits from a slightly open stance and does pull off the ball some, but he has quick hands and good overall balance. It’s a sweet swing that’s just going to get better. Keep an eye on this young freshman!
