LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Atlantic Coast Prospect Showcase
Sam Daeke is a 2024 C/1B with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Cary, NC who attends Cardinal Gibbons. Good frame with broad shoulders and present strength to go with solid overall athleticism. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.42 seconds. Primary position C, starting a bit high and offset in his initial stance. Gained ground with his feet, working directly to the bag with some life to him. Midline transfer to a compact arm path generating throws up to 72 mph with a pop time best 2.09 seconds. Was at his best when he relaxed and allowed his body to work. RHH starting from a wide and even stance and an extra high handset. Length in front arm as he loads aggressively into the backside. Bat speed is present and gets into the slot well where he launches from. Good carry, especially to the LCF gap showing some projectable power. Feel for hitting and good job of controlling the barrel. Elite performer in the classroom.
