Impact Smith similarly impressed during spring training, during which he posted a 2.57 ERA and 0.57 WHIP across seven innings over four appearances. The February trade acquisition from the Giants also displayed excellent control (9:0 K:BB), and Smith's ability to apparently carry that momentum to summer camp certainly helps his case. However, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com notes that Smith is still a likely "long shot" to make the initial 30-man roster, but that continued strong showings from the right-hander will put him in position to quickly be summoned whenever some bullpen reinforcements are needed during the season.
