PBR MO Uncommitted Spotlight: Nathan Smith


By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

With the fall season coming to a close, our staff will take some time to highlight several uncommitted prospects over the next few weeks as we prepare to enter the baseball off-season and throughout. These players have all impressed our staff recently, whether it be at events, tournaments, or other up-close looks via our boots-on-the-ground coverage.

Today we'll shine some light on RHP Nathan Smith (Southern Boone, 2023), who recently popped up at the end of our fall circuit as a name-to-know senior arm that's still uncommitted. Smith made his PBR debut at the St. Louis Open on October 23rd, leaving the event as arguably its biggest winner. We highlighted Smith in the event's 'Quick Hits' shortly afterwards, having this to say about his 'pen:

"...showed out as arguably the top prospect in attendance Sunday morning. Making his PBR debut, the 6-foot-2, 174-pound Smith pumped his fastball from a high slot at 83-86 mph with downhill tilt and above-average arm speed. Smith also mixed in two breaking balls, a curveball and slider, with depth and similar velocity bands to each other, landing the former for strikes at a more consistent rate. A loose, live-armed athlete, Smith emerged as an uncommitted senior to follow in the state after this showing."
