B/T R/R · 5' 10" · 195 lb · born Louisville, KY, USA · age 31 · draft 2016 rd 1 · MLB debut 2019-05-28
Scout’s note
Eight seasons a Dodger, a career .827 OPS from the game's hardest position — and 2026 says .720, the quietest line of his career. The contact quality hasn't gone anywhere: 106-plus EV95 with one of the largest luck gaps in our MLB sample. The Louisville-born backstop is less finished than the surface stats claim.
The Wire
△ On the field: Fans and analysts say the Dodgers miss Will Smith's steady pitch calling as he shows gradual improvement from neck injury with no firm return timeline yet.
△ On cardboard: Collectors posted a Will Smith Topps Finest auto to 99 and listed a Topps Tier 1 Prime Performers 25/25 card for 299 dollars along with limited sets.
