"He’s just an old-school, throwback, tough SOB."
Built like a farmhand and swinging like a cleanup hitter, Kaden Smith (@KadenSmith2021) took the long road to @DukeBASE – and turned it into a breakout.

I want to thank Texas Tech for the opportunity, but with that being said I’ll be entering my name into the transfer portal. RHP-6’2-220. Looking for a home. 7 Foot+ extension. FB(89-92 this fall)-SL-CH. TrackMan numbers below ⬇️
Continuing to have the awards roll in 🙌
@KadenSmith2021 was named ABCA Second-Team All-Atlantic Region on Tuesday afternoon! He becomes the third-ever student-athlete in CSU history to be selected for this honor and the first since Bobby Ison and Alex Tomasovich were in 2014!
To me, the qualities of a good team are to beat other good teams (Q1/Q2), and to not lose to bad teams (Q3/Q4). We’ve done that as well as any “bubble” team this year. We also check the “intent of schedule” box as well as any team. Anyone, anywhere, any time. 1/2
It's the offseason, so I'll ask all of you.
Outside of the new Xavier coaches and players...
