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.

KN: 65 mph. Sinking action, has feel to throw for a strike.

Hit: RHH. Athletic, open setup, smooth load, toe-tap. Aggressive swing,  max bat speed of 71.1 MPH, path is level, makes contact out front, consistent hard contact in BP, gap-to-gap approach.
Power: 91.44 max exit velocity, averaged 84.11 mph. 344’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 78 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 arm slot.
Defense: Reliable hands, fluid footwork working around baseball, plays through the ball at times.
Run: 8.02 runner in the 60. 

2/24/21
One of the top 2023 bats in attendance looked to be INF Sam Rolhfing (Harvest Christian, 2023). The 6-foot-2, 162-pound, right-handed hitter has loose-levers and creates advanced whip in the barrel. Rohlfing was consistently on time, worked the whole field and creates some jump off the barrel; 91 mph max exit velocity during BP.
