This 5 foot 10, 160 pound dual sport athlete was the fastest player at the event, turning in a 7.01 60 time. He’s extremely explosive out of the gates, and holds his speed well the whole way. Halcomb is a low effort runner who will develop plus or better speed as he gets stronger. In the outfield, he makes quick reads and plays aggressively. He turned in 79 mph from the outfield and showed impressive pitchability on the mound. At the plate it’s a well sequenced lower half, rides backside in stride creating linear connection as hands are thrown. Samford has a short and efficient hand path, with plenty of loft on the low ball. The hand-eye coordination is impressive and we look forward to seeing his tools take off as he gets stronger.
