Jack Smith  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Smith can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Smith's move to first base is average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. 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. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Smith as a pinch-runner on occasion.
