Smith is hitting .325 with a National League-leading .424 on-base percentage and a .949 OPS. With runners in scoring position, Smith is hitting .433 with 36 runs batted in.

Manager Dave Roberts doesn’t think the 30-year-old will slow down in the second half of the season thanks to rookie backstop Dalton Rushing, who has provided Smith with more days off in his new role as backup.
