Smith pitched for two years at Parkland (Ill.) JC before transferring to Louisville where he’s been a solid starter and reliever. Now a 6-foot-3, 175-pound senior righthander, Smith was a potential top-10 round senior sign before the draft was shortened to five rounds. Smith has limited upside without a ton of future projection, but he has a solid three-pitch mix and plenty of swagger on the mound. He throws an 88-92 mph fastball and has two solid secondaries that some scouts could put above-average grades on in a curveball and changeup. Smith has solid athleticism, but he’s skinny and some scouts question his durability because of that.
