Florida State sophomore third baseman Cam Smith was selected 14th overall by the Chicago Cubs in the 2024 MLB Draft. Smith showed big improvement from his freshman to sophomore season. First being named the Most Outstanding Prospect of the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2023, and then springboarded him to being a First-Team All-ACC third baseman with a 1.014 OPS this past year for the Seminoles. He also lowered his strikeout rate from about 32% in 2023 to 18% in 2024. At 6’3″ and 220lbs and being a solid fielder with a strong arm, Smith should be able to stay in the hot corner as he moves up the ranks in professional baseball. Looking at how he improved his game over the last two years, Cubs fans should be excited to see how he continues to grow his game.

Welcome to the Cubs!!
Amazing pick from hoyer
6’3, 225lbs at 21 and has decent speed for a big guy. I wanna see him when he fully fills out.
Cubs fans who came to scout the new guy 😂
Update, cam is actually HIM.
Welcome to the North Side, kid! Can't wait to see you at the hot corner at Wrigley!!
Looks like a very solid third basemen. Cubs got a good one. Cubs are jam packed full of quality infielders. Hope the rest of their draft are filled with pitchers.
Fundamentals look great. Everything from running the bases properly to tagging runners. Can he hit the curveball and lay off of the high 4-seam fastballs ? Only time with tell. Solid pick!
We shoulda got the switch handed pitcher n helped em evolve but cam smith looks athletic i need to see a 3rd baseman play like aramis did
