Smith is a hold — average skill, average results.

His expected wOBA is .319, essentially level with the league average of .315, and he has 505 plate appearances — well past the point where the number becomes reliable. What matters more is the direction: his expected wOBA has stepped up across the sample, so the surface line is starting to catch up. His contact quality backs the skill up. He has 332 batted balls at 89.0 mph average exit velocity, a 44.3% hard-hit rate against a 40.0% league average, and an 11.1% barrel rate against 8.0%. He strikes out 25.3% of the time and swings through 14.3% of pitches, both above league, so the batting average will have cold stretches. None of that is unstable enough to move the call either way. Hold. With a 1 HR / 5 R / 4 RBI / 1 SB / .209 AVG line, this is a drop-tier drag — deep-league only, no add.
