ARLINGTON – Josh Smith walked into the Rangers’ clubhouse Tuesday afternoon, which, in and of itself, was something of a wonder. Bigger miracle — his jaw and...
Smith has tried not to replay it too often. Returning from a facial beaning can be tricky. Beyond the physical damage, it can cause a hitter psychological issue. It can be Willie Calhoun, a left-handed hitter like Smith, who was coming off what appeared to be a breakout year when he took a jaw-shattering 95 mph fastball from Los Angeles’ Julio Urias to the face just days before COVID-19 shut down baseball in 2020.
Said manager Bruce Bochy: “I just don’t see it [being a long-term issue]. Facing a lefty, maybe it comes into play. But he wants to get back out there and play [Tuesday]. So, he’s certainly got no hesitation.” Smith had previously taken a pitch to the face, too. While at LSU, he was hit in February 2019 by a pitch smack dab in the middle of his mouth. Nothing broken then, either. Maybe he’s indestructible.
