2022 Western Pennsylvania Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
Matt Smith is a 2023 OF/RHP/UT with a 6-4 190 lb. frame from Duncansville, PA who attends Hollidaysburg Area. Long, lean frame with lean muscle and tons of physicality remaining to be added throughout his build. Recorded a 7.17-second sixty time. Primary outfielder, fields off to the side with a clean glove-to-hand transfer, coming through the ball well. Present arm strength, up to 85 mph on his throws to the play with carry. Loose arm with a shorter arm action. Secondary right-handed pitcher, full wind up with a belt-high leg lift. Uses long levers to stride down the mound, short arm action, coming from a high 3/4 arm slot. Hides the ball well as he creates some deception against opposing hitters, as his fastball got in on hitters quick. Sat 79-82 mph during his outing. Curveball flashed 11-5 shape with vertical depth. Continuing to develop feel for change-up. Developing three-pitch mix that could project at the next level as he continues to refine feel. Right-handed hitter, sets up with a slightly open stance and a high back elbow. Utilizes a hover trigger to engage his lower half. Line-drive swing plane, impacting the ball through the middle-of-the-field with flashes of juice. Present quickness to his hands as he displays present feel for the barrel. Good student.
