Cade Smith Logs Season-High Seven Innings In Second Victory
New York Yankees starting pitching prospect Cade Smith pitched a season-high seven innings on Thursday en route to his second victory of the campaign. He did not allow a run and surrendered just two hits and two free passes. He struck out five. This was a big bounce-back outing for the young right-hander, as he has allowed multiple runs in his previous two starts. Through his first seven starts of professional ball at Single-A (37 innings), he holds a 2.41 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and an 18:46 BB:K ratio. Smith is still several seasons away from the major leagues but with the strong start that he has had, he could develop into one of New York's top pitching arms. The 22-year-old remains a name to monitor in dynasty leagues, especially if he reaches High-A by the end of the summer.
Cade Smith Looks Strong In First Month Of Professional Career
New York Yankees starting pitching prospect Cade Smith made his professional debut with Single-A earlier this month and has performed quite well. With the Tampa Tarpons, Smith has posted a 2.11 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 33 strikeouts across 21 innings. He has issued only ten free passes. The former sixth-round pick is ranked as the 23rd overall prospect in the Yankees system on MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old is still several years away from his major league debut but has the strikeout upside to become a top pitching prospect in the Yankees system over time.
