Preston Smith, Prestonwood Christian Academy (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: C/2B RHH/C Will get stronger with good frame/build. Moves well. Solid catcher in future. Sets up well, moves well, nice job of receiving with hands. Upside to bat/power combo in future. Development opportunities present with adjustments. Good player to watch develop over next couple of years.
Body: 6-1, 167-pounds. Projects well physically. Good frame/build to add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, trying to show some linear movement. Can improve use of lower 1/2, work to explode lower 1/2 in firm front side, stay in legs with swing, try to avoid bending knees in swing. Solid base to work with and develop. Barrel/hands start in good position to hit. Length to swing created with barrel going around creating scoop swing…uphill path. Work to take direct path to hit zone with hands and barrel. 64.3 mph bat speed with 12 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 73.8 mph. 302' max distance. Project solid bat/power combo in future. Development opportunities present with adjustments. Solid base to work from with both hit approach and swing. Will improve.
Arm: RH. C-75 mph. Arm works, throws lack carry. Tries to be too quick. When staying within himself shows nice throws. Project avg in future.
Defense: 2.06-2.12 pop times. Receives well, hands work, sets nice target. Solid footwork setting to throw. Good glove to hand exchange. Needs strength.
ATH: 7.27 runner in the 60. 1.77 and 4.08 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs well, speed will increase as he adds strength. 20.90 max vertical.

Preston Smith, Prestonwood Christian Academy (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: C/2B RHH/C…will add needed strength. Defensively will be steady behind plate. Raw arm strength will improve. Upside to bat/power combo with adjustments. Chance to develop into really good player.
Body: 6-2, 166-pounds. Great build/frame to add strength in future. Projects to have good build in future.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, never drives forward with back foot. Learn to drive back foot and back hip forward into firm front side. With distance between feet after stride would recommend developing linear movement forward with back foot along with rotation. Posture can be improved, work to stay upright in swing, not falling back. Barrel/hands in decent position to hit, would like to see barrel slightly more behind head. Length to current swing, getting barrel behind head will shorten path to hit zone. Work to take direct path to contact zone and stay thru baseball. Pulls thru early slicing thru baseball on middle/away pitches, fine on inner 1/2. 69.3 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 83.6 mph. 292' max distance. Opportunities present for adjustments with both approach and swing. Nice upside to bat/power with changes. Solid raw tools to work with at plate.
Arm: RH. C-75 mph. Arm is late at times, must improve staying behind baseball for carry to develop. Stands up setting throw, gains no ground forward.
Defense: 2.10-2.20 pop times. Receives fine in games, nice job of blocking. Solid future.
ATH: 7.35 runner in the 60. 1.80 and 4.11 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, effort.
