Kevan Smith Changes Agencies

By Anthony Franco | November 29, 2019 at 9:54pm CDT

Angels’ catcher Kevan Smith has changed agencies and will now be represented by Bryan Hamper of Fusion Sports Agency, MLBTR has learned. Smith, 31, entered the affiliated ranks as a seventh-round pick of the White Sox, with whom he spent the first eight seasons of his pro career. He made his way to the Angels via waivers after the 2018 season and totaled 211 plate appearances last year. Smith’s .251/.318/.393 line was strong for a catcher, although he hasn’t rated well as a pitch framer in his career.

Smith currently sits atop an uncertain catching mix in Anaheim. He’s eligible for arbitration for the first time this offseason. MLBTR’s Matt Swartz projects Smith to take home a $1.3MM salary. He’ll be eligible for arbitration twice more and is on track to reach free agency after 2022.

Smith’s change in representation will be reflected in MLBTR’s Agency Database, which contains agent info on thousands of Major League and Minor League players. If you see any errors or omissions within, please let us know: mlbtrdatabase@gmail.com.

    I think he’s a very underrated option who could see a nine figure contract coming his way.

    Is his name Pronounced Kevin or Key-van or Ke-van. When it’s a triple A player I’m not sure many people will care

    Kevan Smith catching for Danny Farquhar, will forever go down in history as the only duo to uncover the “bang-bang” 2017 Astros.
