Cam Smith a Must-Add Ahead of Potential Breakout
Houston Astros outfielder Cam Smith is off to a hot start in 2026, going 11-for-31 (.355) over his last nine games with three home runs, six RBI, and six runs scored. The former first-round draft pick is slashing .273/.385/.523 overall with a .407 wOBA and 170 wRC+. Notably, the 23-year-old appears to be finally using his 96th-percentile sprint speed, with three steals already this season, which is about a 30-steal pace; he stole eight all of last season in 134 games. A 26.9 percent strikeout rate is on the high side, but he's been able to help offset that with a well-above-average 13.5 percent walk rate thus far. The 6-foot-3 slugger could be having a true breakout campaign, and although he is available in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the right-handed hitter should be rostered in most formats.
