6-4, live-arm Samford freshman Grant Largen brings upside and polish
Grant Largen enters Samford as a tall, physical right-hander with a projectable frame, a live arm that has been described as working into the low 90s, and the kind of mound intent coaches love. In his 2024–25 recruiting evaluations, he was praised for late-life fastball action, a quick/short arm path, and high academic character, while Samford also highlighted him as a strong fit for its development model. He looks like a good bet for a team that values ceiling, competitiveness, and growth potential over instant flash.
