6-foot, 170lb athletic frame; 6.8 runner in the 60 yard dash. At the plate, Smith starts with a wide base and hands by the shoulders with a relaxed bat. Uses a simple weight shift to initiate his load. A lift and replace with the front foot gets him down on time early and often. Swings lightly uphill with pick up in the swing as he is making contact. Quick hands and a strong turn on the backside allow him to post exceptional exit velo numbers. Registered an 87 MPH max exit velo. Behind the dish, Smith popped a 2.08-2.24 with a 72 MPH arm strength from the crouch. Sits in a slightly tall crouch with weight shifted on his toes. Works a quick exchange after receiving softly and works a quick switch of the lower half to gain direction to his target. Throws from a low to normal 3/4 slot with good arm speed.
