An in-depth break down of what our evaluators have seen from Aaron Sabato, Keoni Cavaco, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Randy Vasquez at the Low-A Southeast level.
Julian Smith, LHP - Dodgers
Age: 21 (6/6/97)
Lanky, long legs. Extremely easy delivery with loose arm. Not a frame that will support a ton of weight but room for some. FB 93-95 with life, often to glove side. CB 76-79 flashed plus with 1 to 7 shape and depth. CHG 83-86 could get firm. Impressive out of nowhere guy, scouts not even knowing who he was.
