Scout’s note
Fourteenth pick in 2024, in the big leagues by the following opening day — Smith's surface line undersells a 23-year-old putting 109 mph on the ball 230 times a season. Rookie-contract bats with this contact profile are what the breakout board was built for.
The Wire
▼ On the field: Fans criticize recent hitless stretches poor plate discipline and low average while some praise defense bat speed gains and call for extension.
△ On cardboard: Collectors sell Cam Smith rookies and autos at modest prices while others seek low-numbered chrome rookies and autographs.
