Larson

RHP Sam Larson (Lake Forest, 2023) displayed one of the stronger arms in attendance over the weekend. He ran his fastball up to 86 mph with life through the zone, working from a long, high ¾ arm slot. With his projectable 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame, it would not be a surprise to see an up-tick in his velocity through the coming years as he continues to develop physically.
