6-foot 165 pound Smith was a player we were looking forward to seeing going into the Tucson Open and he did not disappoint. The true shortstop put on a show showing a clean glove and accurate arm across the infield with a 86mph arm. At SS Smith has soft feet and a good first step with lateral movement. At the plate Smith showed a mature round of BP with a center of the field approach. Smith showed a high leg lift, hands that worked inside the baseball with weight on his backside. At this moment Smith is a singles and doubles type hitter, with added strength we feel Smith will be a top of the line-up type hitter with power to the gaps. Smith is currently the #26 ranked player in the state and is participating in the Wednesday night games with the Diamondbacks scout team at Salt River Fields. Smith is a high follow going into the Fall and Spring seasons.
