• Samuel played on Baseball Factory's Orange team. He was one of the younger players on the team. It was a great experience to play with 18u players mostly from the Calfiornia areas. He saw that he can compete at such a high level. If his Alabama Indians 16u team had been in the tournament field of 65 teams that they would have placed high. He now realizes how good of a team he played on summer of 2013. He gained some confidence after leaving the event and reflecting on the 5 games he played in. He did not have a single ball hit to him at shortstop the first three games. He pitched two innings during the first game and gave up 2 earned runs. He said he felt a little weird playing in California. I think it was because he was a little under developed physically and a little younger than the competition. His skills were fine. He also has been working on getting stronger with a trainer this last summer just before the tournament so he was still sore from the workouts.

• fastball 82, nickname was "skinny strong arm", 48 HS players, four teams, team was undefeated, played SS and pitched some, no errors, no runs allowed, 3/7 at the plate, Mike Bell said he recommends Samuel to play JC and get stronger and playing time because if he came to FSU as a freshman that he would most likely not play until his junior year.
