Samuel Sponseller, a wiry 2027 two-way prospect from Heritage Christian, shows a stock setup in the RH batter's box with a short swing that plays with lag through the zone. He produced an 88 mph max exit velocity with a 244’ peak distance, and his swing projects well as strength continues to come. The 6-foot, 170-pounder shows arm strength from the OF (77 mph) and ran a 7.62 in the 60 with a 17.3” vertical. On the mound, Sponseller works with a long arm action from a high-¾ slot, showing a downhill delivery. His FB sat 74-77 T78, paired with a 66-67 mph CB and 69-72 CH
