It was a late-night shovefest for the Michigan commit. Smith put together a dominant performance as he struck out 12 in a complete game shutout (7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 12K). Ultra-physical on the mound at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds, Smith shows repeatability in the delivery and attacks the zone with intent. Fastball lived in the upper 80s at 86-88 (T89 MPH). The southpaw displayed advanced feel for the curveball which played extremely well off of the fastball at 76-80 with sweep and created a heavy dose of swing-and-miss. Easy to see a chance for a future advanced offering. Changeup was worked occasionally at 79-80. Smith can flat out pitch and it was evident on the first night of the 17u National Championship.
