11-2 from http://www.thehardballtimes.com/ : - Dwight Smith, OF, 2011, Peachtree City, Ga., Canes - Wowee. Fastest bat I saw in the tournament, and if his swing needs any tuning, that’s for someone far smarter than me. Power to spare (despite being 5-foot-11), good plate coverage, quiet hands and load… he’s dialed in. It stands to reason; this is the son of the former big leaguer of the same name. He’s a great athlete and an above-average baserunner. However, it looked like things were a bit of an adventure in the outfield. I think he’ll be a top-round draft pick in 2011.
6-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/ - The top 2011 player that will be there is Dwight Smith, an outfielder from McIntosh HS near here, and he's the son of the former Major League outfielder. There are dozens of other players I want to see, and I don't know pitching schedules, so I could be missing Adam Griffin (Forsyth Country Day HS, NC) by not getting up for the 9:00 game, but his team (Dirtbags 17's) aren't playing a difficult pool matchup, so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll see him this weekend

http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/events/under-armour-preseason-all-america-tournament/2010/2610524.html - OF - McIntosh HS, Peachtree City, Ga. Another son of a former big leaguer with the same name, Smith is one of the best pure hitters in the 2011 class. He has a quick, lefthanded stroke that produces line drives to all fields, though he can also turn on pitches and drive them out of the park. Smith has above-average speed and plays the game hard.
8-16-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/8/16/1625615/2010-under-armour-all-american#storyjump - Dwight Smith, Jr., McIntosh HS (Ga.) - Uncommitted thus far, the son of former major leaguer with the same name, Smith may very well follow in his father’s footsteps as he has packs a tremendous swing in a small frame. He generates some of the best bat speed in the country in a compact swing from the left side. The power potential is there, mainly to the pull-side for right now, but he also laced line drives to left field as well. He has little projection to work with, but Smith is a hitter in the purest form and easily had the best swing mechanics of the day. In the outfield, he wasn’t terribly impressive but he certainly didn’t hurt himself out there. He looks faster than he actually is and there’s not a whole lot of arm strength there, but neither tool subtracts from his overall tool set.
8-27 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - OF Dwight Smith Jr. McIntosh HS, Peachtree City Ga 5'11 185 L/R - comps to his father when Dwight Sr played for the Cubs years back, Jr has a good solid stroke with bat speed and strength in his swing, running speed and throwing arm are just ok, not ML average but definitely playable, better quickness than speed, he has a chance to improve speed by a .10 or .20 with work and dedication, arm can get better too in time. There is no real rush on this kid and dad says he'd like Jr to get an education but knows that signing quickly out of HS will only aid him in getting to the show quicker.
