[BA] 14. Eric Smith
The Diamondbacks made Smith the highest-drafted player in University of Rhode
Island history when they took him in the second round of the 2009 draft and
signed him for $605,700. He split his first season between Rookie-level
Missoula and South Bend, returning to low Class A to open his first full season
and earning a promotion to Visalia for his last 10 starts. Smith throws three
pitches for strikes and has the ability to pitch deep into his starts. He has a
good frame and played basketball in high school. His fastball ranges from
88-93 mph with good movement and plus sink. His slider is an average offering,
and his changeup has good dive. Smith throws with a three-quarters, short-arm
delivery, hides the ball well and works quickly. He pitches to both sides of
the plate and keep the ball down. He needs to use his lower half more in his
delivery and continue to improve his command. He has also worked on a
curveball, Which would give him a fourth legitimate pitch. Smith may return to
high Class A or move up to Double A with a strong spring training. He could be
a middle-of-the-rotation starter, and his tendency to pound the bottom of the
zone is well suited for hitter-friendly Chase Field.
