Brady
Smith

RHP Brady Smith (Chippewa Falls, 2026) made a serious statement with what he did on the mound on Saturday. Although the fastball topped out at 82 mph, Smith repeated his smooth and athletic delivery consistently throughout the session. He pounded the zone to all four quadrants with the fastball with an impressive IVB max of 21.2 inches which was a top mark for the event. Smith also threw a true cut fastball which was also commanded whenever and wherever he wanted to place it through the zone. His slider showed quick and late biting action with more depth and bigger movement profile than the cutter. The slider was also executed at a very high level. Lastly, the change up was thrown with fastball intent out of the same window and tunnel as the fastball and showed late depth and fade near the hitting zone. This was four pitches for strikes, from a low effort delivery and consistent ability to repeat. In terms of touch and feel and overall pitchability, Brady Smith had one of the best performances in a bullpen session in recent memory.
