9/30/24
6-foot-1, 150-pound frame, lean and wiry, plenty of room to add strength. Above-average runner with a 6.71 in the 60. The right-handed hitter has a fluid, athletic swing with feel for the barrel, topping out at 90 mph for his max EV. A top returner for the Panthers with the bat, Smith recorded a .369 average in 176 at-bats last spring with 15 doubles. Fluid defender with athletic footwork and soft hands, clean transfer with rhythm and timing. Short and quick release, arm can play from multiple angles, mostly delivers from a ¾ slot (T80 mph).

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 160-pounds right-handed hitting shortstop, got the start at shortstop and batted second. Tall, narrow stance, hands start high with a vertical bat, active hands, arm bar load, short stride. Compact swing through the zone, gets extension after contact, line drive, whole field approach. Smith was the team leader in hits for the game with two, singled on the first pitch he saw in the game and another single to end his day at the plate. Athletic footwork through the baseball defensively, sure handed on balls up the middle, clean transfer.
