LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Sunshine East Showcase
Kevin Smith is a 2007 C with a 6'0'', 180 lb. frame from Winfield IL, who attends Wheaton North HS. He has a lean athletic build and the chance to get stronger. Smith threw 72 mph during catching drills and had a best pop time of 2.03. He has quick feet and transfers and will improve his pop times by cleaning up his mechanics out front. Smith also played some outfield during games and showed nice range going back on the ball. Offensively, Smith has a balanced lower half in his set up with busy hands. He takes an aggressive line drive swing and drove the ball hard to all fields both in games and in BP. He likes the ball low and gets the bat head down to the ball well. Smith's bat projects well to the next level, especially for a catcher. Smith is also a very good student.
