Smith's successful baseball career with the Houston Astros commenced in 1980, where he played for the team until 1990. As a relief pitcher for the Astros, he registered an impressive 199 saves, which was then the most significant number of saves by any pitcher in the franchise's history. Dave Smith made his MLB debut as a pitcher in May 1980 against the Cincinnati Reds, and his last MLB appearance was on October 3, 1992, against the San Diego Padres. Throughout his career, Smith was known for his devastating sinkerball that produced numerous groundballs and double plays, contributing to his team's success.

Off the field, Smith was a respected member of the community and endeared himself to fans and teammates alike. His exceptional performance on the field earned him the nickname "Smoke" in recognition of his sinking fastball. Smith passed away on December 17, 2008, at the age of 53, leaving behind a legacy as one of the best relief pitchers in baseball history. He had a standout career that earned him several accolades, including an All-Star selection in 1986 and 1990, and he was inducted into the Astors' Walk of Fame in 1992.
