INF/RHP Sam Rohlfing (Harvest Christian, 2023) showed an improved overall skill set since our last look in the winter of 2021. Rohlfing’s frame continues to tick up, now standing 6-foot-2, 165 pounds, with plenty of projection left in the frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has an athletic look in the box, using it to get into a smooth load as his hands get into a strong position to unload. He swings with intent, flashing present bat speed (72.4 mph on average; fourth highest of the event) while staying flat through the zone, showing the ability to backspin the baseball. Rohlfing also showed well on the mound, working with a loose, athletic arm while throwing from multiple arm slots. His most intriguing combination appeared to be a true side-arm offering that he demonstrated confidence in by throwing each of his pitches from that slot without sacrificing pitch action. Rohlfing ran his fastball up to 81 mph while showing an advanced knuckleball that he repeatedly killed the spin on en route to the plate – and it knuckled consistently enough that made it difficult for the catcher to receive.
