Unsigned Senior Spotlight: Tanner Smith
October 20, 2016
Graduating Class: 2017
Position: OF
School: Kettle Moraine
Height: 6-0
Weight: 201
The Outlook: Smith is coming off a big summer, where he showed off one of the more impressive hit tools in the class. Smith’s bat carries more pop and takes a confident, aggressive approach to the box, his loud contact was on full display at the Badger State Tournament in early July where he went 6-for-12 with a double, two triples and a home run. An above average runner as well, Smith shows tools to play all three outfield positions, but his bat looks to keep him a mainstay in the middle of a lineup.
Scouting Report: 7/7/16 - Solidly built 6-foot, 200-pound left-handed hitting outfielder. Narrow, open stance, leg kick in his load with opposite field approach. Uses speed to his advantage, good reads on base-paths. Showed power in the third day of games, short path, extension through contact, home run over right field fence. Added to his already impressive weekend with a 2-for-3 game including a double and triple showing pull side power and an aggressive approach to attacking the baseball with hard pull side contact.
