Mariners pitching prospect named AFL Fall-Star

The Seattle Mariners had several organizational representatives compete with the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League, and one of them was named a "Fall-Star."

Right-handed pitcher Adam Smith earned the honors after posting a 5.40 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 6.2 innings pitched across seven appearances. He had one save in two opportunities.

Smith's contract was purchased by the Mariners on May 1, 2026. He was originally selected in the 14th round of the 2021 MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres.

In his first year in Seattle's organization, Smith posted a 3.25 ERA and fanned 51 hitters in 55.1 innings pitched across 33 total appearances (one start) with the High-A Everett AquaSox and Double-A Arkansas Travelers.
