Another JSerra Catholic Lion who came out to his home field to get the 2025 calendar year rolling Smaldino was the most impressive arm to take the mound amongst a solid group of pitchers. A wiry athletic present frame checking in at 6'4 190 lbs. with length to his limbs and room to fill out. Smaldino featured a FB which worked at 86-88 MPH presently with 2250 RPMs of spin on average with an easy delivery that projects future gains to his FB velocity. Mixing in a trio of offspeed offerings in a 72-75 MPH CB which showed upwards of 2400 RPMs of spin on average and two plane break, followed by a 68-70 MPH SLD a sweepy like movement pattern and finally dropping in a 79-81 MPH CHG that is presently firm but shows action to the arm side with 18.4" of horizontal fade on average. Still young and developing the present foundation Smaldino showed in the OC Preseason ID leaves you intrigued to his future potential.
