Nathanael Smith: RHP/3B, (2021) Perry, OH. 6-foot, 191-pound. Showed off his speed at the event, running a swift 6.98 60-yard dash. On the mound, had a very quick arm action and a ¾ arm angle with electric arm speed. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses easy effort. Showed an athletic balance point. Knuckle (66-69 mph).Threw his fastball 83-86 mph; shows arm side control and running action. Has plus action on his 11/5 curveball (68-70).
Scouting Notes: Interesting mound prospect in the '21 class. Works quickly with good tempo. Fastball shows above average arm speed and works downhill. Expect more velocity to come. Complements fastball with a tight breaker with solid depth.
Fastball: 82-85mph.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1685-1881
Breaking Ball: 68-70mph.
