Smith finished Cactus League play hitting only .179, but four of his five hits went for extra bases, and he tallied two homers along with four RBI.
EDGE Analysis
Smith began last season in a projected timeshare with Austin Barnes, but he eventually captured primary catcher duties with a standout campaign, and he's expected to log the bulk of the playing time behind the plate along with occasional DH duties in 2022. The 27-year-old has largely been targeted as a top-three catcher in fantasy drafts this season, and his combination of power and on-base skills justifies that expectation.
