Smith possesses a strong and athletic frame at 6-foot, 190-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.85 seconds with an exit velo of 97 MPH, one of the tops at the event. Starts tall and slightly open at the plate. Hands are relaxed and keep rhythm. Quick leg kick. Hands have a late and aggressive movement down and back pre-pitch. Lots of movement in the swing but shows present barrel awareness. Some easy power in his swing and hard contact to all fields. Defensively, Smith recorded a top velo of 78 MPH and pop times ranging from 1.96-2.05 seconds. Gets a little wider when throwing to bases. Shifts body to his left after receiving the ball. Compact arm action, gets on top, consistently good throws.
Physical- Athletic, physical, 6-foot, 190lbs with present strength throughout the frame. 7.37 runner in the 60.
Offensively- Starts upright with a narrow base and hands above his shoulders. Loud pre-pitch movements, uses a big, quick leg kick with bat waggle and hands moving down and back into a strong load position. Despite the pre-pitch movements, shows solid feel for the barrel that works flat through the hitting zone with a high, one handed finish. Above average bat and hand speed helps generate some pull side pop when he catches the ball out in front. Max exit velo of 99 MPH.
Defensively- Traditional catcher's setup with some slight offset in his stance. Quick out of the crouch using his strong lower half to power out of the crouch. Soft hands with impressive transfer times, using a quick arm stroke and a ¾ arm slot to release. 1.96-2.00 pop time with an 81 MPH arm from the crouch.
