The same program that produced DJ LeMahieu years ago has once again birthed a fantastic young prospect in New York Yankees second-round pick from 2019, Josh Smith.
The LSU product had a fantastic first season as a senior, slashing .346/.433/.533, leading his team in all three categories. However, his first season with the Yankees’ Low-A ball team was even more impressive (.324/.450/.477). All of his college numbers came among one of the best divisions, often referred to as the toughest competition from talent scouts, the Southeastern Conference.
Smith’s appeal transferred nicely over to the Yankees’ NY-Penn League team, and he’s one of those pesky young infielders that could climb the ranks rather quickly.
