Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Will Smith, Los Angeles Dodgers catcher/DH, is having an excellent 2026 season at age 31. Recently hit his first career leadoff home run on May 15 against the Giants in a 5-2 Dodgers victory. Smith has been receiving regular rest days and managing back tightness, but remains productive. He's on pace for Hall of Fame consideration with 131 homers and 458 RBIs through early May. Smith is a three-time World Series champion and three-time All-Star (all in past three seasons), establishing himself as the premier NL catcher. He's making a legitimate case for Cooperstown with his consistent excellence and leadership.
