Coach Stone’s Comments on Sam Ferri –“Catcher, RHP, Right Fielder that can flat out do it all. Plus arm from behind the plate, 1.9 pop and is a wall back there. Mid 80s off the mound, potential to hit 90 by fall. Will be used as our closer and spot starter. Has 3 pitch arsenal. Plus arm from the outfield with great setup. Can play all 3 positions at major D1 level. Ability to hit quality pitching. Will hit in our 3 hole with gap to gap power and great bat control, works all fields. Good situational hitter. Knows the game inside and out, great work ethic. Team co-captain.”
