This is a newly reworked swing? Dudes raw strength is very evident. Really just a flick of the wrists and the ball explodes.

That looked like a slow swing and he crushed it 400 feet

That is the potential to be a franchise bat.

I do kind of want to see a team pull an anti-Angels and let some advanced college hitter like Cam Smith get like 500 PAs in Low A and just see if they can OPS over 1.500

But yeah Cam should probably be in South Bend on Tuesday

Absolutely get this kid to high A.

I really hope Matt Shaw and Cam Smith are replacing Nico Hoerner and Isaac Paredes by 2026, at the latest.
