Cam Smith
data as of June 3, 2026·week 10
Smith is a buy — contact quality is trending up, line is real.
His expected wOBA is .346 — .031 above league average and stable over 226 plate appearances, well past the 160-PA reliability threshold. His actual wOBA of .298 actually underperforms that, so the surface looks cold, but it is not the skill. The skill is the contact quality, and it is stepping up. His hard-hit rate is 43.2% and his barrel rate is 13.7%, both above league and on a rising trajectory. He has enough batted balls for those to be real. The strikeout rate (26.5%) is a touch high, but that is a known tradeoff. The gap between his expected and actual wOBA will close as the bounces catch up. Buy.
