Summary
Pensacola Catholic just sent another star to the pros—Michael Smith Jr., the 2023 grad, was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 13th round. A standout at Dayton with a .332 average, .500+ OBP, and 10 homers, he shattered his school’s single-season stolen base record and wowed scouts at the MLB Draft Combine. Now he faces a big decision: sign with the Padres or return for one more college season. This keeps Pensacola Catholic on track as a machine for MLB talent.
