Dodgers draft C Will Smith at No. 32

The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Louisville catcher Will Smith with the No. 32 pick in Thursday night's MLB first-year player draft.

Scouting report: Smith hasn't had consecutive games with a strikeout since February and has struck out just 12 times all season. He has a short, simple stroke and good barrel control and hand-eye coordination. We're not talking about big bat speed or hand strength here, so while Smith might be a high contact hitter, the power is unlikely to come. Read the full report (Insider)
