Will Smith (the catcher) is actually the second MLB player who shares the name with the famous actor.

Longtime left-handed reliever Will Smith played a vital role on the World Series champion Atlanta Braves last season — pitching to a respectable tune of a 3.44 ERA.

It’s safe to say Will Smith the actor is ruining the name for people all over the world following his viral Oscars moment.
