Sophomore Derrick Smith has turned himself into a legitimate 2025 draft prospect. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound righthander showed a loose, quick arm from a high three-quarter slot with a lively fastball sitting in the 92-94 mph range while touching 95. His slider was even more nasty at 81-83 with very good deception and repeated swing/miss. It spun super tight in the 2800-3000 rpm range. He has struck out 25 in 17.1 innings so far this season.
