2023 RHP/1B Grant smith JOINS TEAM ARIZONA

+ 2023 RHP/OF Grant Smith (Pinnacle)- Smith upside is undeniable standing at a 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame with long limbs, plus athleticism and above average strength.  He still continues to progress while learning to use that big body and how he can use his tools to his advantage. The ceiling is through the roof at this point. Smith throws with some rawness from longer arm action, coming out of a 3/4 slot. Uses a tall delivery and neutral leg lift. At our fall event, Smith's FB has worked into the lower 90 's throughout the spring and summer. He's still figuring out how his stuff moves but it shows flashes of future + movement including a power sinker.  Smith also shows two-way capabilities with power potential at the plate. At our Top Prospect Games he launched a couple balls over the LF fence at 100mph with ease. He also ran a 6.95 60-yard dash as a capable OF awhile back but sticks more towards 1B recently. Smith should be an intriguing prospect to follow at this years Future Games.
