Astros Prospect Cam Smith Impresses with Two Home Runs in Spring Training Debut

Houston's top-ranked prospect showcases power and poise, offering a glimpse of his potential future in the majors.

Cam Smith, the Astros' top prospect and MLB's No. 59 overall, hit two opposite-field home runs in his first Grapefruit League game against the Mets.
Smith, acquired in a trade with the Cubs for Kyle Tucker, is adjusting well to his new team and training near his hometown in Florida.
Astros manager Joe Espada praised Smith's approach at the plate and his ability to perform under pressure, noting his potential for future success.
Smith is focusing on improving his defense at third base during camp, with the Astros also considering him for other positions such as right field.
While Smith is expected to start the season in the minors, his performance could accelerate his path to the majors within the next 18 months.
