10/22/24
Another prospect with a high-ceiling to know from the day is OF Jenner Smith (Hersey, 2028). Listed at a high-waisted 6-foot, 150-pounds, Smith holds plenty of room to add on strength throughout the coming years. A right-handed hitter, he showcased a compact and balanced swing that stays mostly flat through the zone with intent to stay on top of the ball, middle/pull approach that worked on the barrel, also was able to elevate with ease (T90 mph EV; T345’). Quality arm from the outfield, reaching up to 80 mph from a crow hop.
