Jays' Homegrown Two-Way Star Austin Smith

Austin Smith, a two-way star from the University of San Diego and UC San Diego, is making his pro debut with the Toronto Blue Jays Class-A Dunedin squad. After focusing on outfield duties last year, Smith is now showcasing his pitching skills. His early pro stats are impressive, with a .590 batting average, .940 on-base percentage, and stolen bases. In college, he had a 5-5 record with a 5.66 ERA, striking out 52 batters. The Blue Jays are cautious about managing his pitching load, but Smiths potential is undeniable. He could be the teams homegrown answer to the two-way hype. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
