Experienced bullpen arm trending back after injury setback
In the 2025 season, Jace Smith gave Grand Canyon a steady right-handed relief option, making 15 appearances and working 18 2/3 innings after missing 2024 with injury. His best calling card is resilience: he returned to the mound after a 657-day layoff, then finished strong with scoreless outings in four of his final five appearances, including against quality opponents like Arizona and Stanford. At 6-2, 225, he looks like a power-bodied bullpen piece who can help if you want a veteran arm with strikeout upside and late-season momentum.
