Presenting himself at a physical 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame, Smith was the key for his team to earn a victory on Thursday, as the 2024 graduate struck out nine batters in a complete game effort. The right-hander only needed a two-pitch mix to find success on Thursday, as he heavily utilized a fastball to earn outs. Throughout his outing, the fastball sat 83-86 mph for Smith, topping out at 87 mph. Occasionally, Smith would go to his slider, where he displayed sharp feel for the breaking ball, throwing it both for strikes and outs. As an arm, Smith is an intriguing prospect to monitor as he progresses in his prep career.
