Corey Smith - Back-to-Back Atlantic League First-Team Selections

Autographed 2013 Somerset Patriots Choice Team Card Set #23 
After being named Baseball America’s Top-High-School Hitter in the Country, Corey Smith was drafted in the first round of the 2000 draft by the Cleveland Indians.

Smith went on to reach the Triple-A level with the Indian, Angel and Dodger organizations.


Spending an abbreviated season with the Somerset Patriots in 2012, and two full seasons the following years -- Smith made them count.  


The Piscataway native was named Atlantic League Player of the Month for May and Atlantic League All-Star Game MVP by winning a "Home Run Off" that decided the game in extra innings in 2013.


The third baseman was also voted back-to-back Atlantic League First-Team selections for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
