Astros top prospect Cam Smith has made a significant impression during Spring Training, batting .419 with four home runs over 13 games. Originally viewed as a future player rather than an immediate starter, Smith's performance has sparked discussions among the Astros management regarding his place in the team. General manager Dana Brown expressed confidence in Smith’s abilities, indicating that they are considering him for a major league spot. The Astros' need for right fielders has led to Smith being tested in that position during spring, despite his background at third base.
We're making some tough decisions. We want to put our best team forward. We're having these conversations about Cam Smith... Make no mistake, I'm not afraid to put this guy in the big leagues.
Smith couldn't have done much more this spring to force the Astros to consider whether he should break camp. He's hitting .419 with four homers and a triple in 13 contests.
