2018 National Underclass East Showcase
Ronnie Smith is a 2018 SS/RHP with a 5-10 158 lb. frame from Quincy, FL who attends East Gadsden. Medium build, looks part, athletic and projectable frame. Ran a 6.97 second 60 yard dash. Primary shortstop, waits back on ball, would like to see attack ball with more aggression, could work on working more from the ground up, developing hands that could be softer at the point of gather, short arm action into throws with developing arm strength. Also pitched, drop and drive delivery, could utilize lower half more into drive leg, compact arm action to a 3/4 arm slot, good hip turn but tends to open up too much at time causing arm to drag through circle at times, fastball shows some armside life, threw a good amount of strikes during outing. Righthanded hitter, even stance with a high back elbow, small stride forward into swing tending to leak out on front side at times, level swing plane getting the barrel through the hitting zone cleanly, mostly ground ball contact with a middle of the field approach.
