Khelyn Smith joins the Bruin coaching staff for the 2002 season as an undergraduate assistant. He will assist Coach Adams with improving the team’s infield defense.
Smith joined the UCLA program in the fall of 1997 as a second baseman and redshirted in 1998. An unfortunate string of arm injuries cut short his playing career - he only made seven appearances as a pinch runner in 1999 and 2000.
A graduate of prep athletic powerhouse De La Salle High School, Smith earned All-City honors twice as he helped the team to consecutive CIF state baseball championships in 1996 and ‘97.
“Khelyn is very knowledgeable of the game and infield play,” Bruin head coach Gary Adams said. “When he was healthy, he was also an outstanding baserunner. He will make a great addition to the coaching staff.”
