LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Sunshine Gulf Coast Showcase
Henry Smith is a 2022 RHP/SS with a 5-9 150 lb. frame from Athens, GA who attends Athens Academy. Medium frame with some strength to his build and more room to fill with time to do so. Ran a 6.97 second 60 yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, works exclusively from the stretch lifting his leg to a belt high leg lift at the start of his delivery, takes his arm back to a clean and quick arm action up to a high ¾ arm slot, intent present at release working out over his front side well. Fastball jumps out of his hand some topping out at 83 mph, the heater is straight but he did a nice job of working the corners and primarily down in the strike zone, mixed in a slurvy-type curveball with side-to-side shape and flashed plenty of potential. Secondary shortstop, sits back on the baseball, fields the ball with playable hands, plenty of balance present with footwork that could improve working into his release, average arm strength across the diamond. Righthanded hitter, sets up at the plate with a slightly open stance, graded out best at the plate, swings with intent transfer weight into contact well to produce some raw bat speed, torques his hips with leverage out in front. Great student.
