Sam Polk competed as an NCAA student-athlete for six years with stops at Baylor, Saint Louis University, and Washington University in St. Louis. At SLU in 2023, he contributed to a record-setting offense that established new program records in runs and RBIs, finishing among the top 50 offenses nationally. During his final season of collegiate summer baseball, Sam posted a .345/.493/.491 slash line over 143 plate appearances with a wood bat in the New York Collegiate League, and later captured a prestigious Northwoods League Championship with the Green Bay Rockers.

Sam began his college career as an infielder before transitioning to the outfield, giving him a well-rounded defensive background across multiple positions. As a switch-hitter, he understands the unique needs of hitters from both sides of the plate.

Sam’s coaching style centers on personalization and enjoyment. He believes in teaching foundational swing principles, like direction, plane, and efficient mechanics, while tailoring instruction to each athlete’s strengths, tendencies, skill level, and learning style. Sam sends each player home with a note card of key takeaways and cues to carry into their next practice or game.
