Dodgers Draft Pick Sam Horn Expected To Make Full Recovery From Leg Surgery

The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Sam Horn in the 17th round of the 2025 MLB Draft, using the late selection on the two-sport athlete out of the University of Missouri.

Despite being the No. 128 prospect on MLB Pipeline’s rankings heading into this year’s draft, Horn remained on the board until pick No. 525. His desire to continue playing football for the Tigers and undergoing Tommy John surgery the previous year contributed to Horn’s draft stock falling.

Horn remained unsigned leading up the deadline for negotiations between teams and their 2025 draft picks. The Dodgers convinced Horn to sign by offering him $347,500 from their bonus pool because of the $150,000 limit that can be offered to any pick after the 10th round.

Additionally, they allowed him to play out the rest of 2025 as a member of the Mizzou football time. At the time he was drafted, Horn was competing with Beau Pribula to be Missouri’s starting quarterback.

The quarterback battle had not been resolved heading to the Tigers’ season opener on Aug. 28. Both signal callers were set to split snaps, but Horn was the one under center for the first offensive drive.

Unfortunately, he suffered a leg injury on the first play of the game and exited the game. Horn underwent a successful surgery on Wednesday to repair a fractured tibia in his right leg, effectively ending his season, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN:

Horn has one year of eligibility remaining and could likely gain another as a medical redshirt. But one would have to imagine that his focus will now turn to his baseball career with the Dodgers organization.

Sam Horn prospect profile

Horn has a plus-fastball that can touch 98 mph with armside run and sink. At 6-foot-4, Horn creates good extension and deception with his delivery because of a low arm slot and release point at his height. The negative on his scouting report is that he is a very raw and inexperienced prospect.

Horn went 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 15.0 innings across parts of two seasons as a pitcher for the Tigers.
