2023 California Workout Showcase (Saturday)
Zeke Smith is a 2024 C/RHP/OF with a 6-3 185 lb. frame from Vista, CA who attends Maranatha Christian Schools. Long and lean athletic build with lots of room to get stronger. 7.12 runner in the sixty. Primary catcher on defense, has good lower half athleticism and moves his feet well, quick transfer on his throws, has good accuracy and made accurate throws, athletic overall actions that will continue to improve with repetitions. Also worked out in the outfield and showed his athleticism and arm strength well there. Right handed hitter, hits from a medium stance with a hand drop load, has a short upper body driven swing, works downhill to the ball, mid field to opposite field contact, can get more from his lower half. Took a turn on the mound, throws from a 3/4's arm slot with good lower half drive down the mound, some energy at release. Fastball topped out at 80 mph with some arm side run low and some ride up in the zone. Curveball was a solid second pitch with some depth and plane. Good student.
