Super Sam!

Super Sam Sutter has made the news again.  Way to go, Sam!

Genoa senior Sam Sutter isn’t flashy.
Comets coach Dave Miley will take trustworthy and consistent.
“He goes about his work quietly and it doesn’t go unnoticed,” Miley said. “He does everything he’s asked to do and he does it well. I trust him in any situation.”
Sutter has been reliable on the mound as he’s earned two of Genoa’s three victories. His ERA is 1.38.
“Hitting spots and my guys making plays,” he said. “It makes it fun to pitch.”
Sutter no-hit Fostoria over five innings.
“I felt really good that day,” he said. “Guys made big plays. Jake Stewart had a diving catch in right field.”
Sutter must rely on his defense without overpowering stuff.

“Throwing strikes and locating his fastball,” Miley said. “Keep the ball down and get ahead. That’s what he has to do. He’s not a strike-out guy. He has to pitch to contact.”
Sutter plays second base when not pitching after filling more of a utility role last season. He grew about four inches since last season.
“I’ve learned so much from different coaches,” he said.
Sutter started two double plays in Genoa’s win over Woodmore. He was 1-for-4, advanced a runner who ultimately scored and added a run in the eighth.
“He’s solid,” Miley said. “He fields everything hit his way. He’s not flashy. He’s a contact hitter in any situation. He puts the ball in play when he has to. He knows the situation.
“He hit the ball to right to move (Sam) Witt. He did exactly what he was supposed to do.”
