In a few brief looks the LH swing of Smoak reminds me in some ways of George Brett. It appears to me that he keeps his weight back so well and so long over his left leg (with a little less "squat" or back knee bend than Brett). That allows him to stay back and then explode. There is so little stride it makes him appear very quiet with the body.
With his RH homer tonight it appears he has less squat from that side. but that was still a magnificent swing.
He will be a long time very productive hitter. A middle of the order guy for the next 12 years.
