Cam Smith Blasts Two Home Runs On Tuesday
34 seconds agoHouston Astros third base prospect Cam Smith belted a pair of home runs in Tuesday's 8-5 Grapefruit League win over the Mets, his first two hits of the spring season. The first was a two-run opposite-field shot in the sixth after entering the game for Isaac Paredes, and the other was an opposite-field solo shot in the eighth. The 22-year-old has now reached base safely in all four spring plate appearances, logging two walks in each of his first two PA this past Saturday. Smith was selected 14th overall by the Cubs in last year's draft but came to Houston via the Kyle Tucker trade. He's already the Astros' top-ranked prospect and is ranked 59th overall in MLB. The 6-foot-3 right-handed hitter showed well in his first taste of pro ball last year, slashing .313/.396/.609 with seven home runs in 115 at-bats across three levels, finishing the year at Double-A. Dynasty managers will need to take notice of the power display, but redraft managers will likely have to wait until 2026 for Smith's bat to be available in the majors.
