Smith

Solid frame standing 5-foot-8, 185-pounds. Open athletic stance from the right side, hands load back in rhythm, and had a small leg lift to stride landing on line. Flashed some hand and bat speed, slightly uphill path to the swing, and displayed ability to pull hands in when needed. Consistent gap to gap approach with some natural loft in the swing. Exit velocity was 74 mph. Defensively Smith works outside the ball on approach, active feet, and worked through the catch with solid glove presentation. Above average hands, full arm circle, and throws from a higher three-quarter arm slot. Positional velocity was 75 mph. Ran his 60 at 7.59.
