Pavin Smith surprises his family , Twitter/PavinSmith

Pavin Smith was selected 7th overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2017 MLB draft and ended up signing a deal with the organization just over a week after he was drafted.

It's an honor to be drafted by the @Dbacks can't thank my family, teammates and coaches enough for helping me get to this point #blessed

As part of his deal with the Diamondbacks, the 21-year-old received a hefty signing bonus of $5,016,300 and he ended up putting a bunch of his signing bonus to good use.

This Christmas, Smith surprised his parents with quite possibly the greatest gift of all-time.

Thank you for everything you have done for me! This doesn’t make up for any of it. Love you both so much. Our home is finally all YOURS. Merry Christmas! pic.twitter.com/h9wog2HfHv

The Diamondbacks’ 2017 first-round pick used a chunk of the massive signing bonus he received this past summer to pay off his parents’ mortgage and they were at a loss for words when they finished reading his note.

It doesn’t get much better than that.
