Austin Smith was one of the stand out performers in Arizona’s tight match up with team Michigan Sunday morning. Smith was able to hold Michigan to 1 run through 6.2 IP, while only giving up 4 hits and striking out 3. FB topping out at 81. Smith was able to challenge hitters with consistent strikes to both sides of the plate with a steady mix of SL. Smith shows the potential to be a 2-way prospect. Behind the plate Smith showed an above avg arm and pop time of 1.97-2.10. Smith is a high follow for the 2026 class.
Solid, athletic frame at 5’10”, 160. Athletic and balanced stance at the plate. Short step initiates his load as his hands go back. Balanced weight transfer leads into an aggressive swing. Hands move steep and direct to the ball. Creates good angles with his torso, allows him to have line drive ability to all fields. Moves athletically behind the plate, shows some mobility. Tight arm circle on throws with a quick transfer (Pop time: 1.97-2.10). Could afford to gain more ground, but ultimately solid fundamentally. Showed a two-pitch mix on the mound (Curveball). Has some rhythm through movements, gives a knee lift to a balanced delivery, uses a high ¾-to-over the top arm slot. Achieves good arm acceleration upon footstrike. (82.4 Max Velo) Could afford to drive weight more towards the plate rather than rotating so hard around the front hip.
