Samuel
Chapman

OF Samuel Chapman (Woodstock, 2024) continues to impress as a high end follow in the outfield and earned an invite to this year’s PBR Future Games. The smooth swinging outfielder has loose, athletic hands and keeps the barrel in the zone a long time while driving baseballs to all fields throughout his round of BP. In the outfield he has a strong arm (90 mph) that is accurate with looseness and life, pairing with quick feet and soft hands - also taking confident and direct routes to the ball. High-follow 2024 outfielder.
