Smith came in as the third pitcher for Riverside and was an intriguing arm. Very lanky, has a lot of projection left to his frame and room to add strength. Throws from a submarine slot, normal effort to his delivery. Fastball was 77-78 with a lot of sink and run. Showed two offspeed pitches, a slider that came in at 73-74 with good armspeed and some late break to it. Also showed what appeared to be a subby knuckleball at 63-65. Showed ability to pound strike zone and generate swings and misses. Worked ahead in count and forced some uncomfortable at-bats. Did a good job of either being in the zone or making the pitch look like it would be a strike to draw a swing. Just got outs, swings and misses or weak contact.
