Pavin Smith Extends The Lead With Grand Slam
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Pavin Smith launched his first home run of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Smith hit his first career grand slam off of Andre Pallante to extend the Diamondbacks' lead to a four-run margin. The 27-year-old went 1-for-3 with a walk. On the season, Smith is hitting .333/.400/.667 with one homer across six games. He also owns an impressive 18.8% K rate with a 141 wRC+ and 0.2 WAR. The Florida native isn't equipped to be an everyday player, but he's shown some early promise at the plate, which could earn him some more plate appearances if his numbers persist. Fantasy managers should hold off on Smith for now, unless his bat continues to produce at a high level.
