    Smith is not a prospect who is going to entice every scout or every team. But certain teams that love plus defenders with plus speed in center field, like the Royals, will find a lot to like in Smith. The 5-foot-10 lefthanded hitter slashes the ball instead of looking to lift it, and the concern is that in pro ball he will not drive the ball regularly enough to let his 70-grade speed fully play. He shows solid barrel skills, however, and he is extremely athletic. Smith is committed to Michigan.
