LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 South Top Prospect Showcase
Smith is a 6-3, 185 lb senior right handed pitcher from Texas with a slender, projectable body. He throws from a simple step and throw delivery and opens up very early on his release, which leaves him pushing the ball a bit to the plate. Smith uses his fastball and curveball interchangably, often pitching backwards off his curveball, and does a good job throwing strikes and getting ahead in the count. Smith's fastball was 76-80 mph and he did a good job of challenging hitters inside with this pitch. His curveball was 64-66 mph and had a consistent sweeping break in the strike zone. Overall, Smith is a finesse pitcher with some very good pitching smarts and a pitching style he is comfortable with and confident in.
