Sam was very proud to have been elected co-captain of the Oliver Ames high school baseball team by his peers at the end of last season’s successful varsity campaign.  He looks forward to contributing next year in order to ensure the continued success and excellence of the Oliver Ames varsity baseball program.  Sam has grown up in Easton and enjoyed playing baseball starting in tee-ball and continuing through to the Oliver Ames High School program.  Sam has made many lasting friendships by playing baseball and has enjoyed playing on many teams in his career.  He has benefited by playing under many knowledgeable baseball managers and coaches.  Baseball has allowed him to travel to and expand his horizons.  Sam has participated in the East Coast Eagles Baseball AAU program which took him to Baseball Heaven in Long Island, NY as well as Myrtle Beach, SC where he got to tour Coastal Carolina before they became NCAA Champions.  Sam has also enjoyed playing for Easton Post 7 Legion baseball team with his friends and high school teammates for the past two years.  Sam is undecided on his college choice and whether or not he’ll continue playing in college at this time.
