2024 Atlantic Coast High School All-State Games (Invite Only)
Samuel Smith is a 2026 SS/2B with a 5-11 150 lb. frame from Gaffney, SC who attends Gaffney. Medium frames with lean current build, broad shoulders and time to add mass. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.18 seconds. Primary position infielder, with active feet getting into angles and showing feel for the spot. Tends to get glove down a bit late but shows softness and confidence in securing the ball. Standard arm path with throws up to 76 mph across diamond with accuracy and showed good dexterity on slow roller play. Also pitched in game action. RHP using the full windup from the 1B side of rubber, small sidestep to abbreviated leg lift before moving down the mound with average stride length, stationary hands at the belly breaking into very long offline arm path, high spin rates on his upper-70s fastball with emerging control, mid-60s vertical breaker that needs some time, hitters can't square up his fastball with the cutting action and high spin 2,300+ rpms. RHH working from a medium and even stance, some length in front arm during hand load and was a bit late timing wise early in the round. Small stride to get going and gets on plane nicely with direct path to impact. Works inside the ball and uses middle of the field. Very good student as well.
