2022 Carolina Top Prospect Games
Travis Smith is a 2024 SS/RHP/C with a 5-11 175 lb. frame from Hampstead, MD who attends Gerstell Academy. Medium current build with good projection and solid overall athleticism. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.23 seconds. Primary IF, showing good hop in his step and quick reactions on initial reads. Deliberate actions through the ball, presenting glove out front and a good softness to his hands in transfer. Clean arm path with solid carry generating velocity up to 89 to the bags with true spin on the ball. RHH working from a wide and open stance keeping hands tight to body. Quiet trigger before working to the ball from a high hand and high elbow initial set. Showed some timing concerns but when on time showed good strength at impact and nice projection to his swing. Also pitched in game, where he established himself well over the rubber, breaking hands at belt creating clean arm path into a low-3/4 arm angle. Creates excellent torque from his core rotation and gets over front side reaching consistent release. FB sat in the low-80's peaking at 83 with excellent spin profile in the mid-2,200 range. Full compliment of secondary pitches with CB in the upper-60's with depth, SL in low-70's with exciting spin in the 2,300's and deadening 1,294 rpms on his CH. Attacks the strike zone and really competed well. Very interesting 2-way potential longterm and solid student in the classroom.
