Smith is a hold — average skill, average production, no edge.

His expected wOBA is .301, which sits .014 below the league average of .315, and his sample of 300 plate appearances is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .304, tracking almost exactly with it, so there is no luck story inflating or dragging the line. That is the shape of an average hitter. The contact quality is where it gets quieter: his hard-hit rate is 32.6% against a league average of 40.0%, and his barrel rate is 5.7% against 8.0%, both on enough batted balls to trust. His expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample. There is no slump brewing and no production waiting to break out. If you own him, he is the roster spot that fills a hole. Hold. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG — a drop-tier tax; hold only if you have no better waiver option.
