We would have posted Sam's BKAM profile sooner, but in honor of his base-running tendencies, we "got a bad jump"
Name: Sam Virnig
Number: 7
School: Breck
Primary positions: P, 3B, C
Sam was a new Miller in 2012 but you wouldn't know it from the results. He was a strike-throwing machine who hit for power. With his shaggy hair and incessant yawning, it often seemed like Sam was on the brink of falling asleep, but never did. Except on the base paths. That's a different story.
2012 season high point: After not striking many people out, fanned 7 vs. St Croix to set a team record
2012 season low point: Take your pick of baserunning gems: Hit a spectacular bomb, stopped to watch his hit and turned a triple into barely a single. Picked off by the same EP pitcher 3 teams. Was once nailed by a half-hearted pickoff attempt at 2nd because he jogged back to the base. We could go on. Trust me. We could go on.
Weird habit worth mentioning: If he wasn't at bat or on the mound, Sam was yawning
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Caught stealing (sorry, couldn't resist)
