David Smith@  
Relief Pitcher | Victoria Islanders

Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Because he can't overpower hitters, Smith has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
A fluid delivery leaves him in good shape for fielding, and he has a reputation as a competent defender. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Smith is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Smith has some pop in his swing.
