2021 Braves player review: Kevan Smith

When Travis d’Arnaud went down with injury, the Atlanta Braves had to scramble to address the catcher’s position. They went through a number of veteran options, including Kevan Smith who stuck with the team from early May until the beginning of August when d’Arnaud returned. Unfortunately, Smith really struggled, and was probably one of the most-complained about members of the roster as the Braves scuffled for months in the early going.

How Acquired

Smith was a seventh round pick of the Chicago White Sox in the 2011 MLB Draft.
