Congratulations to Kellen Smith the 2026 Sam Narron Baseball Award Recipient! ⚾️
A recent South Johnston High School graduate, Smith has worked hard his entire baseball career to get to where he is now. From a master class on the mound to left-handed home runs, Kellen has a bright future ahead.
His dad instilled in him from a young age that, "...baseball is 90% mental and 10% physical, and if you’re winning the mental game, you’re going to win on the field.” And Kellen shares that mentality with his team and coaches.
We know that he will do great things at East Carolina University and in "The Jungle"!
Be sure to check out Smith's video interview and read more about his baseball and educational journey here: https://bit.ly/4vDKkEJ
