2022 Most Viewed Profiles: No. 8 Jack Smith


PBR Alabama Staff

As we begin to close the book on 2022 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2022. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months. 

Beginning on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Continuing the countdown, LHP Jack Smith, an Arkansas signee that attends Hartselle HS comes in at No. 8 on this list.

 

Scouting Report

6/1/22

LHP Jack Smith (2023) had an impressive spring that resulted in a 6A state title. He threw in short stints toward the end of the year and was dominant in each look. Solidly built at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, he showed a fastball that touched 94 in his final outing and worked in the low 80s with occasional cut. The breaking ball shows sharp 1/7 depth at 74-75 and pairs well with the fastball with the same arm speed.

3/25/22

LHP Jack Smith (2023) is an uncommitted southpaw that will undoubtedly see his recruitment take off after an impressive performance on Thursday evening. Smith, on a pitch count as he works his way back into shape, was dominant over his two inning stint. Solidly built, Smith showed a fastball at 88-90 mph with occasional cut and was able to work it to both halves of the plate. The breaking ball showed solid depth and was paired well with the fastball with the same arm speed at 74-75. A junior who has blown up of late. Smith had 5 K's in 2 IP.
