Summary
Drew Smith, Oregon’s power-hitting third baseman, was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 15th round after smashing 16 homers and driving in 64 runs as a senior. Versatile and elite defensively, he earned All-Big Ten honors and made all-tournament teams at multiple positions. His departure leaves a big void for Oregon, but Smith’s path to the Giants’ system — possibly even back in Eugene with the High-A Emeralds — marks a thrilling new chapter. He’s joined by fellow Ducks Ryan Cooney, Maddox Molony, Cal Scolari, Devin Bell, and Miles Gosztola in this strong draft class, showcasing Oregon baseball’s rising momentum.
