2020 Power Baseball Tryouts Class of 2022 Standouts

This past weekend Power Baseball held their 2020 Summer Team Tryouts at the Turn 2 Sports and Performance Center along with Rollins College over a three day stretch which included bullpens Friday night, pro-style workout on Saturday, and games on Sunday. Power Baseball has quickly become not only one of the top organizations in Florida, but nationally as well. With over 280 players in attendance at the tryouts, there were dozens of players who stood out and made an impact throughout the weekend.

Over the next several days we will be breaking down the standouts from throughout the weekend by grad class.

Tonight we begin with 15+ standouts from the 2022 Class:

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds on a taller, very projectable frame. Was one of the top arms throughout the weekend, running his fastball up to 90 mph on Friday night. Very quick arm, mostly sat 88-89 mph, touching 90 with life. Ball really jumps out of his hand. Also mixed in an 80-81 mph changeup and a 75-76 mph curveball with depth. Generated plenty of swings and misses. Smith will be a strong follow moving forward and should make another jump fairly soon.

Accurate throws, displays above average lateral quickness and is an above average defender. Quick hands, looks to drive the ball back up the middle offensively. Gamer.
