07/12/2023 - National Showcase - Trenton, NJ Michael is a 2024 middle infielder out of Delaware who continues to show well in his overall game. Defensively, he has fluid footwork that allow him to cover ground and show range up the middle. With soft hands and a quick transfer and an accurate arm he profiles himself to be solid defender on the dirt. Athletically, he shows consistent run times in the low 7 to sub 7 range in the 60 with burst in the 10 yard sprint right around 1.7 seconds and an ability to get down the line with 4.4 times home to 1b. At the plate he works from a tall stance with a fluid and smooth rhythm to his load and good bat speed that allows him to get to consistent upper 80 MPH exit velos and find his barrel for consistent hard contact. His approach works to the middle of the field with line drive plane. Smyth is a very interesting 2024 infield prospect for college coaches.
