Sam Horn

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #56 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Missouri Committed: Never Drafted
  Age At Draft: 21.9
  Horn was a four-star quarterback recruit out of high school and is also a member of Missouri’s football team. Am arm injury suffered last spring–Horn was also balancing quarterback reps during Missouri’s spring football practices–limited the righty to just 4.1 innings. He has an incredibly physical, athletic build at 6-foot-4 and 217 pounds. Horn has an explosive delivery with a loose, whippy arm action and big time arm speed. He features a thunderous fastball that sits in the 95-98 mph range, and it jumps out of the hand with flashes plenty of run and ride through the zone. It also plays even harder when elevated. Horn is continuing to develop feel for a low-to-mid-80s slider, which sometimes flashes tight sweeping life with a bit of depth and has the potential to be a plus pitch down the road.

• Ranked #106 prospect in 2022 draft
  School: Collins Hill HS, Suwanee, Ga. Committed/Drafted: Missouri
  Age At Draft: 18.9
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: - | Changeup: 50 | Cutter: | Control: 50
  Horn draws comparisons to Georgia high school righthander Bubba Chandler from the 2021 class thanks to his talent on the football field and on the mound. Horn is a four-star quarterback committed to Missouri to play both sports and, like Chandler, he’s also a solid infielder and switch-hitter in addition to his tremendous upside on the mound. Horn throws a fastball in the low 90s and gets the pitch a few ticks higher at peak, and it has future plus potential. He throws a breaking ball that has above-average potential and a slider that gets future average grades, while his athleticism and smooth, controlled delivery portend average control in the future as well. All these projections are with the assumption that Horn focuses on baseball at the next level, but his talent as a quarterback and importance to the Missouri football program could mean that doesn’t happen. He’s viewed as a third-or-fourth round talent as a projection pitcher with plenty of untapped potential and natural arm talent, though he’s not expected to be signable in that range given his two-sport Missouri commitment.
