John Smoltz

Bio

School: Waverly High School, MI
Drafted: 22nd round of the 1985 draft by the Detroit Tigers
Scouting Report: A tenacious competitor and a winner, he is fearless with his fastball, which hasn't lost any steam after years of use. Also owns a devastating slider. Can occasionally let his fiery side boil over and he'll give up a big inning. Age and injuries have forced him to switch roles late in his career.
