| Career Transactions | |
| Selected by Angels in eighth round of 2013 draft; signed June 12, 2013 | |
| Background | |
| Smith was a senior sign out of Furman, which meant his lack of negotiating leverage meant he signed for a modest bonus to free up more money for other draft picks. But Smith has turned into one of the Angels’ best pitching prospects. | |
| What to Watch For | |
| Smith is likely a back-of-the-rotation big league starter who succeeds with average stuff (an 87-91 mph fastball, a good changeup and a developing slider). |
