View Draft Report
Smith is a 5-foot-10, 195-pound catcher who spent three of his four college seasons at Wright State after transferring from Cincinnati. A second-team All-America pick in 2025, he hit .330/.498/.770 with a Division I-best 26 home runs, 10 doubles, 16 stolen bases, an 18.4% strikeout rate and 20.2% walk rate. One of the class’s top senior bats, Smith posted elite batted-ball metrics with a 92.7 mph average exit velocity, 29.2% barrel rate, 55% hard-hit rate and just an 18.5% chase rate. He can be overly selective, which dragged his zone contact rate to 80%, but his ability to hammer mistakes and avoid bad swings stands out. Smith is athletic enough to remain behind the plate but also offers versatility in the outfield or on the infield corners.
