An arm on the rise, RHP Brady Smith (Van Buren, 2026) boasts a lean, projectable 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame, with plenty of room to add strength. His fluid delivery and loose, whippy arm action stand out as he moves effortlessly down the mound. In this bullpen, Smith’s fastball sat 86-87 mph (T88), showing natural arm-side run through the zone. He mixed in a low-80s changeup with fading action and a slider with slight sweep, spinning at 2,300+ RPM. With the ability to command both sides of the plate using his full arsenal, this small-school standout is poised for a breakout spring.
