Jordan Smith is a spark-plug freshman for UTA—speed first, flash second
In the 2026 season, Jordan Smith appeared in 26 games for UT Arlington and scored 15 runs in a reserve role, giving the Mavericks a steady baserunning weapon and a useful late-game threat. The bigger story is upside: she arrived from Pearland High School with all-district and all-tournament honors, and UTA’s staff has leaned on her energy and speed rather than raw power. If a team wants a fast, high-motor outfielder who can change innings on the bases, she’s intriguing; if it needs an everyday middle-of-the-order bat right now, she’s more of a developing fit.
