Smith's arm strength is undersold.
He has a tendency to throw off his back foot, or to not follow through with his front foot stepping into a throw.
When his mechanics are sound, he drives his hips through the ball and throws lasers.
Good coaching will get him to be more consistent with proper mechanics.
