Christian Smith committed to Vanderbilt University for baseball during his sophomore year. Over the summer, he played for East Cobb Astros 16U baseball team and won the 2020 USA Baseball National Championship. Smith is currently the captain of the Grady Baseball team and is hoping for a senior season during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Coming into high school I expected my senior year to be normal,” Smith said. “I didn’t expect to be sitting at home and taking classes over zoom. There isn’t much to look forward to at the moment because we aren’t seeing our friends every day, but we will be able to play sports so I’m really looking forward to playing baseball in the spring. I’ve been playing baseball all summer but I’m looking forward to playing a full high school season and getting back to some kind of normalcy.”
