[Arizona Sports] Diamondbacks still confident in former top-10 pick 1B/OF Pavin Smith - D-backs director of player development Josh Barfield discussed Smith’s ups and downs on the D-backs BP Show Tuesday. “It wasn’t that bad, it was just the expectations you have when a guy is picked that high,” Barfield said. Barfield credited a change the organization saw from Smith heading into the spring of 2019, aka the last time the D-backs had spring training. “He really, really worked hard on not only his swing but also his body and getting himself into better shape,” Barfield said.
