3/4/17
6-foot-6, 205 pound long projectable RHP with long legs. On the mound steps left moving into a high leg lift throwing down hill with ease. Throws from a high 3/4 arm angle. Fastball sat 84-86 mph while commanding the zone. 11/5 sharp breaking curve that already a swing and miss pitch 68-70 mph and a 73-76 mph sinking change up.

6/29/16
Smith has a projectable 6-foot-5, 200-pound frame with broad shoulders. He stands upright and has a shoulder turn with his load while tipping his bat. He shows raw power with a downhill swing. His exit velocity was 89 mph and he ran a 4.82 home-to-1st. On the mound, he throws from a high-3/4 arm slot with a long, quick arm action. His fastball sat 83-86 mph with late sinking action. His curveball had late, sharp 11/5 action and good depth at 69-71 mph while showing the ability to be a swing-and-miss pitch. His changeup sat 74-76 mph and was thrown with fastball arm speed, showing the potential to be an above-average pitch. He uses a high front-side and he drives towards home plate with his lower half and a quick tempo. As he fills out, he should see a jump in velocity.

3/6/16
Smith has a projectable 6-foot-5, 195-pound build. He stands tall and uses a leg kick with a bat tip in his load and rhythm. He showed raw power to the pull side. His exit velocity was 85 mph and he ran a 7.55 60-yard dash. On the mound, he throws from an over-the-top arm slot with a short arm action while displaying quick arm speed. His fastball sat 80-84 mph with some arm side run at a downhill angle. His curveball sat 67-68 mph with sharp 12/6 break and good depth. His changeup had some run and sat 70-71 mph while his split-finger fastball showed good, late depth at 74-75 mph and the ability to be a good strikeout pitch.

2/27/16
Smith is a projectable 6-foot-5, 195-pound prospect. He is a Right-Hander that throws from an over-the-top arm slot and has a short, quick arm action. He raises his hands high when he lifts his leg and shows consistency with his mechanics while showing good body control. His fastball sat 81-85 mph and he gets good downhill action with occasional arm side run that can be tough tough on right-handed hitters. His curveball was sharp with late 12/6 break at 68-71 mph. He threw his changeup at 76-79 mph and it had similar action to his fastball. He showed the ability to throw all three pitches for strikes and threw his off-speed pitches with fastball arm speed.
