Blue Jays: Kevin Smith has been red hot after sluggish first half

Blue Jays No. 14 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, Kevin Smith, had an eye popping 2018 campaign where he posted a slash line of .302/.358/.528 with 25 home runs, 93 RBI’s and 29 stolen bases, but unfortunately the 23-year-old infielder took a step backwards in this year’s first half.

Heading into the season with double-A New Hampshire, Baseball America had him ranked sixth in the organization behind most of the young stars currently manning the big league infield, but in the first half he batted just .175 with seven home runs and struck out 73 times in 59 games.
