Hitting
Smith never has been a patient hitter. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Smith when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Jose Smith to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.
Baserunning & Defense
He might not deliver for you at the plate, but Smith can certainly deliver in the field. He is an exceptional fielder. His arm is accurate enough. He steals a few bases with his combination of quickness and a decent first step.
2025 Outlook
Smith has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
