Age At Draft: 22.4
After his freshman year at La Salle in 2020, Smith transferred to Connecticut, sitting out the 2021 season before playing for the Huskies in 2022, when he hit .307/.405/.496 in 66 games. He didn’t get drafted that year, so he returned to UConn this year as a 22-year-old redshirt junior and hit .305/.434/.475 in 54 games. At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Smith has a compact build with a strong lower half and doesn’t have one big tool, but he could serve in a utility role, with time in center field, left field and at second base at UConn. He’s a switch-hitter who has had more success from the right side, where his swing is more direct and he has shown more extra-base damage, albeit with below-average power. He’s an above-average runner who has infield experience but looks more comfortable in the outfield.
