Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is on a mission to break out of his slump in the second half of the season. Despite struggling at the plate with a .165 batting average post the All-Star break, Smith showed signs of life in a recent game against the Miami Marlins. His solo home run in the 8-4 win was a much-needed boost to his confidence.
Facing off against Marlins starter Ryan Weathers, Smith crushed a fastball over the left field wall in the second inning, giving the Dodgers the lead. This home run marked his 19th of the season, matching his total from the previous year. The impressive feat was not only celebrated by fans but also by Smith’s wife, Cara Smith, who took to Instagram to express her joy with fire and heart eye emojis.
Smith’s journey to the Major Leagues began when he went undrafted in the 2013 MLB Draft and played college baseball at Louisville. It was during his time at the University of Louisville that he met his future wife, Cara. The couple got engaged in 2019 and tied the knot in December of the following year. In October 2022, they welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Charlotte Ann Smith.
Recently, Cara announced on Instagram that they are expecting their second child, adding to their growing family. She has been a supportive presence at Dodgers games, sharing moments from the stands with her daughter and showcasing her baby bump in a recent post. Fellow baseball wives, including Madisyn Seager and Walker Buehler’s wife, showered Cara with compliments, praising her beauty and strength as a mother.
As Will Smith continues to shine on the field, both he and Cara are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their second child. The couple’s love story, from college sweethearts to growing their family, is a heartwarming tale of success both on and off the baseball diamond.
