View Draft Report
Clemson transfer Jameson Smith had put himself in the state's solid mix of catchers by transferring back home. The Clovis High product was one of Fresno City College's key players in its run to the state's juco final four, batting third during the playoffs. He has patience and lefthanded power and is athletic enough to move out from behind the plate if he's deemed insufficient defensively. He has good arm strength and needs more reps as a catcher. He compares favorably to Vogt with his athleticism and ability to catch but lacks Vogt's offensive polish.
