Cape Cod: Another grinder on a team full of them, Iowa’s Sam Petersen (2024) saw most of his action in left field. Plus running speed and sneaky power are his main physical tools. The 6-foot right-handed hitter was consistent on both sides of the ball, slashing .268/.398/.329 while playing strong defense. He saved his best for last, batting .379 with seven RBI in the postseason.
Athletic 6-foot, 180-pounds right-handed hitting infielder. Iowa commit. At the plate, quiet actions with quick leg lift load and stride. Solid weight transfer with above average bat speed and extension through the zone. Level line-drive swing, driving balls to all fields with some feel for the barrel. 102 mph exit velocity off the tee. In the outfield, quick footwork and confident fielder. Throws from a long high-¾ arm slot with 91 mph arm strength. In the infield, active feet with lateral range, soft hands, and clean exchanges. 86 mph throws with accuracy across the diamond. Above-average 6.56 60-yard dash.
5-foot-11, 165-pound right-handed hitting shortstop. 6.60 runner. Open stance, rolling hand load, transfers weight back and through well to contact, shows bat speed, good extension through zone, consistent hard line drive and fly ball contact to mid/pull side of field, 87 mph exit velocity. Good hands and feet, works through baseball well, shows ability to cover ground, stiffer one-piece arm action at times, solid carry and accuracy to base, 82 mph arm strength across infield.
