View Draft Report
Smith opened eyes at the 2016 Area Code Games, tying SoCal outfielder Garrett Mitchell with an event-leading six hits. Smith is a raw hitter with some swing and miss to his game and suspect barrel awareness, but he has a loose, quick-twitch swing and flashes the ability to make hard contact. Smith has a projectable frame with squared off shoulders and a high waist. His non-offensive tools are solid, but the team that takes him will be hoping that he's able to refine his offensive game and develop more power as he matures. Smith is committed to Washington State.
