San Francisco Giants Select Oregon Third Baseman Drew Smith in MLB Draft

After concluding his collegiate career with the Oregon Ducks, Drew Smith will continue his baseball journey in the professional ranks. The San Francisco Giants opted to select the talented third baseman during the 2026 MLB Draft, securing his services for the foreseeable future.

Smith spent four seasons developing his skills with the Oregon program. His selection by the Giants means he will remain relatively close to his college home, a common occurrence for players drafted by West Coast-based teams.

The transition to professional baseball presents a new challenge for Smith, as he aims to translate his college performance into success at the MLB level. The Giants organization will now begin the process of integrating him into their farm system.
