Will Smith is one of the best catchers in baseball and he's been a part of a World Series-winning roster. He has spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the most successful and winningest teams in modern history.
However, it's not just on the field that Smith wins. He also wins off it, as he married his wife Cara Martinelli (now Cara Martinelli Smith) in December 2020. Just a little while after Smith captured the World Series ring, he captured another ring - one that is arguably better.
On October 16, 2022, the star catcher also welcomed a new daughter to the world with his wife, who was 27 at the time.

The couple first met at the University of Lousville, where Smith was a top catcher, in 2015. They began dating shortly after and got engaged in 2019. The engagement wasn't long as they were married by the end of the following year.
Cara Martinelli Smith was born in Louisville, Kentucky. She has a degree in teaching from Louisville. She taught first grade for three years.
Before meeting and eventually marrying Will Smith, the teacher didn't care much for or know anything about baseball. She has since become an avid fan.
Will Smith expectations for 2023
Will Smith had yet another stellar season last year, recording 3.9 fWAR and a 127 wRC+. This year, he will be asked to do a lot more since the Dodgers' offense is now without Trea Turner and Gavin Lux.
The projections expect him to do just that. He's expected to have a career year with 5.7 fWAR (would be a career high) and a wRC+ well over 130. He'll have to carry the load offensively with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, but he'll also have to anchor the defense.
He had another stellar year behind the plate last year with seven defensive runs saved and has 14 on his career. He's been one of the more genuine two-way players at the catcher position. Most sacrifice offense for defense, but Smith produces in both fields.
