Both Florida State commits have been impressing this summer and offer a package of tools that make the upside exciting long term.





Smith, an infielder, is hitting a robust .522 with four home runs to his name including one that he hit in the 8 AM game over at Brook Run.

The arm strength plays from there and the profile is strong from a power-power perspective from third base. The swing shows quality bat speed and the ability to lift and drive hard hit contact.
