Drafted in the 27th round (823rd overall) by the Detroit Tigers in 2010.
View Draft Report
Smith batted .284 with nine homers as a Louisiana-Lafayette freshman last spring before transferring to Meramec CC for 2010. His best assets are his strong 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame, his bat speed from the left side of the plate and his plus arm strength. There's some effort to his game and he's a below-average runner, but he's expected to go high enough in the draft to get him to forgo a commitment to Mississippi for next year.
