Smith's performance at #YSGames24 helped open the door to the Future Games and further elevate his profile as one of Alabama's premier hitters before committing to Southern Miss.

1B Gavin Smith (@GavinSm19972064, 2026) with another impressive swing, adding some insurance making it 8-3, T7.

The hit tool jumps out at each look with premium juice to all parts of the field.

1B Gavin Smith (@GavinSm19972064, 2026) hammers this 1-out backside standup double in the 3rd.

Major juice to all fields, consistent high-impact barrels, just continues to produce with the bat. Simple operation, heavy barrel through the zone.

Rebels push across a run on a safety squeeze and lead 1-0, B3.

[PG Deep South @PG_DeepSouth]

Gavin Smith (‘26 AL) pulls this sharply down the line for extra bases. Big physicality present. #SMTTT commit

More of the same in the next AB for 1B Gavin Smith (@GavinSm19972064, 2026).

Works himself into a full count, shortening up the approach, serving a liner back up the middle.

High end bat-to-ball skills & a loud barrel.

2026 1B/3B Gavin Smith

Gets on plane with the high heater and catches every piece of it. Massive amount of power behind his imposing 6’1 225 build. Creates separation and stays in the lower half well. Swings with intent to do damage.
