View Draft Report
Smith is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound outfielder with bat-to-ball skills and speed. He had a breakout offensive season this spring with UC Irvine when he hit .401/.533/.637 with 10 home runs and 13 doubles. It was the first time he hit more than a single home run in a season, though scouts view him as a contact bat in pro ball who will have minimal power. He doesn’t expand the zone, walks more than strikes out and made contact at an 85% rate this spring. He fits best in either left or right thanks to a below-average arm and his father, Ira, was two-time NCAA batting leader who was a career .431 hitter with Maryland Eastern Shore.
