LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 National Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
Gabe Smith is a 2023 RHP/1B with a 6-4 220 lb. frame from Edwardsville, IL who attends Father McGivney Catholic. Extra-large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present physical strength proportioned throughout frame. Ran a 7.87 60-yard dash. Right-handed pitcher, nice tempo to operation on the mound, long and off line arm action through the back but works through clean and easy to a lower three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 89 mph with running life to arm side, more velocity in the tank too; shows the ability to work to both sides of the plate while attacking hitters. Nice present feel for changeup, tunnels very well and locates well to outer half, up to 80 mph on the pitch with comfort to throw to batters of either handedness. Will continue to develop consistent feel for curveball, up to 70 mph. Deception on changeup and feel for mixing stood out. Very good student. Named to National Indoor Top Prospect List.
