Kevin Smith – Infielder
In his fourth spring training with the Blue Jays, Kevin Smith has been taking some reps at the hot corner this spring and has one hit for a double in three plate appearances with one strikeout.
Austin Martin – Infielder
The Blue Jays first-round pick last season, Austin Martin has three plate appearances with two walks and a stolen base to his name. While playing shortstop, Martin also has two errors on the spring campaign.
Austin Martin's been working on some mechanical adjustments since his time at Blue Jays alternate site — trying to keep a more upright body position & higher hand placement to help with swing path to the ball.
