Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP Tall RHP with a deceptive delivery and effective three pitch mix.
Body: 6-3, 192-pounds. Lengthy with strength, projectable.
Delivery: Tall and relaxed. Medium high leg kick, lands closed, creating deception to RHHs.
Arm Action: RH. Loose arm, high 3/4 release point.
FB: T87, 75-85 mph. Arm side run, sucessful on the edges and down in the zone. T2402, 2125 average rpm.
SL: 71-73 mph. Two-plane sweeper with big horizontal action and late vertical drop. T2590, 2516 average rpm.
CH: 79-82 mph. Fading CH with depth and run; swing-and-miss shape. T1806, 1566 average rpm.
Another JSerra Catholic Lion who came out to his home field to get the 2025 calendar year rolling Smaldino was the most impressive arm to take the mound amongst a solid group of pitchers. A wiry athletic present frame checking in at 6'4 190 lbs. with length to his limbs and room to fill out. Smaldino featured a FB which worked at 86-88 MPH presently with 2250 RPMs of spin on average with an easy delivery that projects future gains to his FB velocity. Mixing in a trio of offspeed offerings in a 72-75 MPH CB which showed upwards of 2400 RPMs of spin on average and two plane break, followed by a 68-70 MPH SLD a sweepy like movement pattern and finally dropping in a 79-81 MPH CHG that is presently firm but shows action to the arm side with 18.4" of horizontal fade on average. Still young and developing the present foundation Smaldino showed in the OC Preseason ID leaves you intrigued to his future potential.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-3, 185-pounds. Big athletic frame with present strength.
