CHARLESTON – The postseason accolades for the Charleston Southern baseball team continued to roll in on Tuesday afternoon as the Buccaneers' Kaden Smith was named to the ABCA Second-Team All-Atlantic Region.

More impressively, he held an on base percentage of .456 and slugging of .670. He had 18 doubles on the year to go with 14 home runs.
 
His RBI tally reached 79 this spring, more than 30 higher than the previous school record. In the final weekend of the regular season at Gardner-Webb, he collected five doubles to tie the NCAA single game record, becoming the ninth in national history to do it and the first since 2019. In league play, he boosted a slugging percentage of .759 for one of the highest in the Big South to go with a batting average of .373.
