Lili Smith is a rising JMU infielder with pop, plate discipline, and a gritty return from injury
Lili Smith’s 2026 profile is more intriguing than her light stat line suggests: at JMU, she has shown real upside as a redshirt freshman infielder with power potential, and she already has her first career home run in 2026. Her value goes beyond the box score—she was a long-time varsity player in high school, earned academic honors, and returned after missing most of 2025 because of injury, which makes her a resilient, high-upside fit for a program that values toughness and development.
