Sam Munson is a 2008 SS/3B with a 6'2'', 185 lb. frame from Fond du Lac, WI who attends Fond du Lac HS. He has a strong, angular body that seems to still be growing and filling out. Munson's tools also keep getting better and better. He ran the 60 in 6.61 in Cincinnati and threw 88 mph during infield drills and looked very athletic doing it. While all the tools are there, Munson does lack game actions right now, perhaps the result of getting most of his repetitions against Wisconsin HS competition. Defensively, Munson shows good range for a bigger shortstop and nice hands at the ball and shows promise of being able to stay in the middle of the field as his actions loosen up. Offensively, Munson has a long, powerful swing with an upper cut swing plane. He has juice in his bat and the ball jumps off hard. Munson is still working on his timing on higher velocity pitchers but the tools are there. One area he'll have to work on as he refines his game is the looseness and quickness in his hips, which are a bit stiff now.

Sam Munson is a 2008 SS/3B with a 6'1'', 185 lb. frame from Fond du Lac WI, who attends Fond du Lac HS. He has a live bodied athletic build with the chance to keep growing stronger. Munson is a very good runner at 6.84 in the 60. He has clean actions on defense, with good lower body quickness and soft hands fielding the ball. Munson tends to lay back on balls trusting his strong arm and will have to learn how to charge the ball better if he is to stay at shortstop as the game speeds up. At the plate, Munson hits from a very balanced and fundamentally sound hitting approach. He has very good bat speed, with a high extended finish that promises more power in the future. Munson likes hitting the ball out in front and will reach for the ball. He has the basic physical tools to develop into a top level hitter in the future. Munson is a very good follow who should keep developing and improving. He is also a good student.
