Smit is "as green as grass" according to one manager, which is expected because
he's from Holland and was 18 all season. He has plenty of time to continue
filling out his 6-foot-3, 207-pound frame and to stop twisting his wrist and
pushing his breaking ball. He needs to develop more consistency with that pitch
as well as his changeup.
"I think he's still growing into his body," Kendall said. "He's got a good
delivery, a fastball in the upper 80s to low 90s, and his breaking ball has
good rotation."
Smit showed glimpses of an impressive future by locating his knuckle-curve and
spotting his sinker while throwing seven shutout innings against Johnson City
in his final start before joining the Dutch Olympic team.
