Zach Smith — Banana Ball Stats & Bio

The ACU connection that led to Savannah

Abilene Christian's student newspaper reported in 2022 that a Bananas coach contacted ACU assistant Blaze Lambert, who recommended Smith for a summer opportunity. Smith had walked on at ACU and worked through lengthy injury rehabilitation before returning to the mound. The feature also recalls the backyard field his father built when he was young. His current Coconuts performances are a later chapter of that route from Abilene to Savannah.
