Toronto Blue Jays 2017 top prospects: #21, OF Dwight Smith Jr.

The now 24-year-old Dwight Smith Jr. was drafted in the 1st round of the 2011 draft as the 53 overall pick. Smith presents a unique package of tools and is solid across the board. He is expected to hit for a decent average that could eventually feature some consistent pop.

Smith’s power will more likely be in the form of hard hit line drives from gap to gap. With his speed he could be a great piece in the Blue Jays corner outfield spots down the road.
