LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 National Academic Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Sam Fassbender is a 2026 OF/RHP/1B with a 6-1 177 lb. frame from Hendersonville, TN who attends Montgomery Bell Academy. Solid athletic build with good present strength and more to come. Right handed hitter, hits from a slightly open stance with a reverse toe tap trigger, inside swing path, mostly mid field to opposite field contact, tends to get too mechanical instead of using his strength and athleticism to create bat speed. 6.95 runner in the sixty. Primary outfielder on defense, has good fundamental footwork through the ball and into his throws, full arm swing, has some arm strength and on line carry to his throws. Also worked out at first base. Took a turn on the mound, has a full wind up with a side step start and a full arm takeaway in back, high 3/4's release point coming through, some lower half engagement coming down the mound. Fastball sat in the upper 70's with some occasional cutting action. Curveball was a good pitch with good depth and spin. Has athletic actions on the mound and is a good bet to keep improving here. Excellent student.
