LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine East Showcase
Sawyer Smith is a 2026 LHP/OF with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Heathrow, FL who attends The Masters Academy. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a lean build, room to fill throughout, has some present strength. Ran a 7.12 60-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher, works exclusively out of the stretch from the third base side of the rubber; coils into back hip at top of leg lift, full arm action through the backside. Fastball topped out at 78 mph, mostly true in life but worked around the zone and to the corners, lower spin rates on the pitch with some heavy life. Will continue to refine a consistent release on curveball, up to 63 mph with the offering, buries it down the in zone and flashed a changeup at 69 mph with spins in the 1200s. Plays back on the ball in the outfield, loose arm action with a higher release point, shows some carry out of the hand. Right-handed hitter, begins with a moderately spread base and an open stance; loads hands back at start of swing, generates some lift through the zone and point of contact. Occasionally gets onto front side early, shows strength when squared, recorded an 89 mph exit velocity in testing. Excellent student.
