    RHP Donnie Smith was making a late push to go in the first 10 rounds after throwing 94 mph this spring with a nasty slider. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder was rated the top prospect in the Atlantic Collegiate League last summer, going 5-0, 0.66. In 41 innings he allowed three earned runs, striking out 60 while walking 12. He was named the league's outstanding pitcher and was the winning pitcher in the league's all-star game. He was 6-2, 2.03 this spring for Old Dominion--leading the Colonial Athletic Association in ERA--with 97 strikeouts and 23 walks in 80 innings, but he was tough to scout because he started and pitched out of the bullpen with no set schedule. Smith also has great makeup.
