Smith Chandler brings a grinder’s bat, elite speed, and run-producing pop to Long Beach State
In the 2026 season, Smith Chandler has been a steady, multi-dimensional infielder for Long Beach State, hitting around .254-.261 with 3 home runs, 24 RBI, and double-digit steals, while flashing the kind of contact-and-speed profile that keeps pressure on defenses. His best separator is the all-around toolkit: he’s quick on the bases, tough enough to create runs in bunches, and already proved himself at Los Medanos College in 2025 with a .397 average, 11 homers, 41 RBI, and 36 steals. That combination of offensive versatility and competitive edge makes him a strong fit for teams that value pace, toughness, and lineup flexibility.
