Colby
Smith

Durable, 5-foot-11, 165, Smith is a consummate strike thrower. He throws from an overhand slot with some tilt/lean to his delivery, creating room for his slot.  His fastball ranges 81-83, but there is more velocity to be had.  He throws a downer curveball with consistent depth and a fading changeup, 68-69. Easy to see a future for Smith on the mound with steady work and development.

Smith is a capable infielder with solid actions. He has a feel for all the plays with good footwork.  He maintains enough arm strength to stay on the left side of the diamond and pure footspeed likely lends better to third base. In the box, he maintains an aggressive swing, using mostly middle to pull side of the field.  He has sneaky pull power with more to be gained from an efficient use of his lower half.

11/14/18-Athletic, 5-foot-11, 165, Smith is still physically developing and projectable.  His youthful appearance reveals that there is plenty of time and room to add weight and strength.  He has good infield actions with the ability and feel for multiple angle throws and enough arm to stay on the left side of the infield.  In the box, he maintains a solid hitting rhythm and loads his hands back to a good launch position.  He has some natural loft to his swing which makes it easy to see signs of future power.  Size and strength increases accompanied by present range and speed, may lend better to third base.

On the mound, Smith has area control of a 3 pitch mix. His fastball ranged 77-81, while the breaking ball and changeup were, 65-67 and 68-69, respectively.  The curveball had good spin and consistent depth.  He had solid feel for the change up and maintained his arm speed on both off speed pitches.  He stays upright with a short stride from a high ¾ to overhand slot. Although he repeats his mechanics, there is more to be had from his front side and lower half.  Velocity development is on the horizon in this youthfully statured right-hander.
