LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 West Academic Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Cayden Smith is a 2025 OF/RHP with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from San Marcos, CA who attends Mission Hills. Features an athletic look with room to add. On the mound, he threw out of a high three-quarter arm slot with medium arm action. The leg lift stayed belt high with a quarter turn, showing good hip torque and extension to the plate with a downhill delivery. Stays around the zone and showed athletic actions down the bump. Off-speed stuff is developing, but he was around the zone with both the fastball and curveball. In the outfield, Smith took solid routes to the baseball and worked through into a downhill throw that was out of a high three-quarter arm slot and stayed on the bag with consistency. Has a tall, narrow stance at the plate that is slightly open. Stays connected with a smooth stroke and real feel for the barrel. Has an all-fields approach that can barrel it up into the gap. Ran a 7.09 Sixty-Yard Dash. Named to the West Academic Top Player List.
