LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 West Coast Underclass Showcase
Ryan Smith is a 2020 OF/RHP with a 5-10 165 lb. frame from Long Beach, CA who attends Wilson HS. Medium athletic build, beginnings of some present strength with more to come. 7.00 runner, young outfield footwork with an exaggerated crow hop and complicated release, arching accurate throws with developing arm strength. Right handed hitter, gets to his front side early from a bet knee stance, aggressive swing with a line drive swing plane, shows some bat speed and can get the ball to jump when he's not too early, has the strength and quickness to keep developing as a hitter. Also pitched, slow paced delivery with a high 3/4's arm slot, stays on line well and does a good job of hiding the ball from the hitter. Fastball topped out at 75 mph, soft curveball with some 11/5 shape, threw strikes with both pitches and had a quick inning. Good student.
