Mitchell
Smith

In the infield he plays with quiet feet and has some fluidity to his actions. Tends to play from heels inside funnel, showing soft hands and developing ball skills. Actions look more athletic on the move. Starts in a crouched stance form the right side. A back leg hitter that takes an uphill path to the baseball. Swing shows both strength and hand speed through the zone. Does a nice job of working to the middle of the field but will turn on the ball with authority when the opportunity presents itself.

An athletic, projectable 6-foot-2, 162-pound frame. A right-handed pitcher that uses shorter arm action while working through a high-¾ slot. Gets solid use out of his hip load to generate energy to home plate. Fastball was mostly straight as it entered the zone anywhere from 72-76 mph. Did a nice job of keeping the pitch  low in the zone. Also flashed the ability to drop down to a side arm slot without losing velocity. Had feel for the arm angle and looked to be more effective from that slot. Only showed breaking ball from the high-¾ slot. The pitch was consistently in the zone with gradual break and a 10/4 shape at 61-64 mph. A mechanically sound outfielder. Footwork is there and he gets solid use out of his crow hop. Unsure of glove at times. At the plate he starts with his weight on his back leg prior to his knee pinch load. Stays fluid throughout loading sequence. Weight gets to front side at contact, creating solid energy. Well above average bat speed. Impressive whip through the zone and consistently produced line drives in batting practice. A third baseman type in the infield. Glove skills are adequate and he moves well laterally. Looked comfortable going to either forehand or backhand.
