Kenneth Earl Smith (born February 12, 1958) is a former major league baseball player who served as a reserve first baseman for the Atlanta Braves between 1981 and 1983.〔(The Baseball Cube )〕 Smith was born in Youngstown, Ohio, where he gained early recognition as a star athlete at the city's East High School. In 1976, he garnered national attention when he became the Atlanta Braves' No. 1 selection in the free agent draft.〔 〕 Following a spring training that produced a .400 average, Smith was assigned to a Class A club in Greenwood, South Carolina, in the Western Carolinas League.〔 ==Minor league career== At Greenwood, Smith earned a batting average of .369 in 1977.〔 〕 Club manager Bobby Dews assessed Smith's performance as follows: "Kenny Smith is one of our top prospects in our minor league organization. And, he's a sure bet to make it to the parent Atlanta Braves if he continues to display the desire and determination that has him hitting at a .369 figure right now." Between 1978 and 1979, Smith played for an Atlanta Braves Class AA farm team in Savannah and spent an additional two years with a Class AAA club in Richmond.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken Smith (baseball)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
