Drafted in the 18th round (541st overall) by the Los Angeles Angels in 2019 (signed for $3,000).
Scouting Reports
An 18th-round pick from Princeton in 2019, Smith has dominated both Class A levels and owns the lowest ERA in the Angels' system. His fastball sits 92-93 mph and touches 95 mph with lots of armside run and gets swings and misses at the top of the strike zone. His slider is an above-average secondary pitch that gets exceptional horizontal movement and his changeup has a chance to be an average pitch. Smith works quickly and attacks the strike zone, resulting in quick, efficient outings. Smith is old for the levels he's been at, but his stuff and “bulldog” mentality have observers projecting him as a solid reliever.
