Joseph Smith is a 2018 OF with a 6-0 160 lb. frame from Brunswick, GA who attends Brunswick HS. Medium build long legs, highly athletic frame with projectable room to fill. Ran an event best 6.55 second 60 yard dash, outstanding speed and it shows in game. Primary outfielder, quick actions to the ball, fluid gather but could break down more for cleaner exchange, long arm action into throws with above average arm strength and accuracy to the bag, topped out at 87 mph from the outfield. Righthanded hitter, wide base, simple and short leg lift timing mechanism, high hand set with a high back elbow, quick hands to ball with an inside path, could utilize lower half more for increased leverage and bat speed, tends to load slightly late causing ball to get too deep into the hitting zone, opposite field line drive approach, hard contact with strength when ball is hit out front. Good student. Named to 2018 World Uncommitted Showcase Top Prospect List.
