2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith, the No. 14 overall pick last year, may have had the best statistical debut of any hitter in the class. He slashed .313/.396/.609 with seven home runs and a 24:15 K:BB in 32 games across Single-A, High-A and Double-A and has been improving rapidly as a hitter over the past couple years. He was among the top gainers in the country in both contact rate (70.6 percent to 82.1 percent) and 90th percentile exit velocity (106.5 mph to 111.3 mph) from 2023 to 2024 en route to rising up boards as a draft-eligible sophomore at Florida State. A 6-foot-3, 225-pound brick house with big-league strength, Smith also excelled over a large sample with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League (.981 OPS, 12.8 K%), which is an important datapoint. There were questions about his swing plane coming out of school and how much over-the-fence power he'd get to, so it's worth noting that six of his seven homers came at Single-A, where he had a 28.6 percent groundball rate, before Smith's groundball rate jumped to around 50 percent at High-A and Double-A. He'll likely return to Double-A with a potential bump to Triple-A around midseason. Smith has the upside of a .300 hitter with 25-30 homer pop. The Cubs sent him to the Astros in the Kyle Tucker trade in December, though that shouldn't significantly affect Smith's immediate outlook. It's worth noting however, that Houston fortified its corner infield this offseason by acquiring Christian Walker and Isaac Paredes, with the latter also being included in the Tucker trade.

Tallies multiple hits
3BHouston Astros
September 1, 2025
Smith went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Monday against the Angels.
Analysis
Smith performed poorly in August, hitting only .147 across 22 games and 68 at-bats. His performance Monday marked his first multi-hit game since Aug. 11, a span of 12 starts. Smith has started to lose playing time against right-handed pitching and that will likely continue unless he can get back on track at the plate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trending toward making roster
3BHouston Astros
March 17, 2025
Smith has a "good" chance of making the Astros' Opening Day roster, Will Kunkel of FOX 26 Houston reports.
Analysis
Smith has opened eyes this spring, putting up a 1.362 OPS with three home runs and a 6:5 K:BB over 31 plate appearances. A third baseman by trade, Smith has been seeing reps in right field and it's at the latter position where he would have the clearest path to playing time. If Smith does make the team and is named the primary right fielder, it would push Chas McCormick to a fourth outfielder role.
