The lefty first baseman's breakout campaign leaves him in a potentially critical role entering 2025.
This article is part of a series chronicling the individual seasons of players who appeared for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024.
Smith hasn't lived up to that bar by any means to this point in his career, but he's certainly has an interesting path to get to where he was entering 2024. Then things seemed to take a turn, and where things stand today, he may have finally taken a step into the spotlight. These numbers were solid, but were not enough to force his way onto the roster. With a logjam in the outfield, and Christian Walker holding the fort at first base, Smith would primarily patrol the field in Reno until his ascent back to the big leagues on August 19th.
Things were truly clicking in Pavin Smith's bat and it was not a fluke. In 2024 He had a babip of .280, only .010 points higher than his .270 battings average leaving little projection of regression.
