UL Monroe’s two-way spark: Sam Skarich brings pop, arm strength, and reliever upside
Skarich’s profile stands out because he isn’t just a bat-first or arm-only prospect: at Southeastern CC in 2024, he hit .329 with 5 home runs and 33 RBI while also posting a 2.35 ERA, 23 strikeouts, and 6 saves in 15.1 innings, plus he earned Rawlings Gold Glove and Conference Reliever of the Year honors.
