Hagen Smith Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith has made two outings since returning from the injured list at Triple-A Charlotte. In those two outings, the left-hander has lasted one and two innings, respectively, as he makes his way back from a left-shoulder impingement. Smith gave up just one earned run in his last two appearances combined. He walked three batters in his first time back out since his injury and lasted just one inning. Control has been an issue for Smith despite his good numbers overall this season. In 55 innings this season, Smith has 82 strikeouts. He only has a 1-6 record this season with a 4.58 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. Smith is the No. 2 overall prospect for the White Sox and has two 60-grade pitches in his fastball and slider. If Smith can work his way back from his shoulder injury, he would be a welcome addition to the White Sox roster down the stretch

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith returned to action on Sunday, coming out of the bullpen for one inning of relief for Triple-A Charlotte. While the lefty struck out two batters in the inning, he also allowed a hit and yielded three walks, so there are still some improvements to be made. Chicago's top pitching prospect missed over a month with a left shoulder impingement, but had been struggling to find consistency, and the command has been a problem all year. The southpaw owned a 2.82 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over his first seven starts, but those numbers ballooned to 6.16 and 1.60, respectively, over the last seven, with nearly a 17 percent walk rate in both halves. Even so, the strikeout rate sits in the 93rd percentile, so if he can make some refinements, a debut in the second half is well within reach. As such, the 22-year-old is still probably one of the more promising arms to stash in most fantasy leagues.

Don't let Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith's 0-5 record fool you; he has the pitching tools to be a successful player for fantasy managers. Smith has pitched to an 0-5 mark at Triple-A Charlotte this season with a 4.67 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. His 77 strikeouts in 52 innings pitched give a good look into his upside, and his fastball and slider are both graded out at 60. The left-hander out of Arkansas is the No. 3 overall prospect for the White Sox, and while he has only been used in starting situations in the minors, he could be looked at as a high-leverage bullpen arm in the big leagues. Control has been a struggle for Smith a bit in the minors, but his high-quality pitches make him a fantasy target, especially in dynasty leagues. Shallow league owners will also want to plant a flag on Smith as a waiver wire option because of the upside if he is called up by Chicago this season.

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A for nearly a month due to a left shoulder impingement. While this lengthy IL stint has significantly hindered his stash value, the hard-throwing left-handed pitcher was flashing elite upside at the top club prior to the injury. Before allowing a season-worst seven runs on June 13 (his last start before hitting the shelf), Smith posted a solid 3.42 ERA over his last 26 1/3 innings. During this stretch, the former fifth overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft struck out an impressive 44 hitters but walked a high 5.5 hitters per nine innings, which inflated his WHIP. While his command has been an issue, his strikeout upside is among the highest at the Triple-A level. His path to innings in a weak back-half Chicago rotation could quickly put him back on the stash radar once he returns from injury later in the second half.

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith (shoulder) was placed on the injured list back on June 16 with a shoulder impingement that was expected to keep him out for at least a month. That puts a return to the mound in late July looking like the most optimistic of scenarios, though a more realistic scenario may point to an August return. Even though his last start before the injury was his worst of the year (seven earned in 4 1/3 innings pitched), the southpaw had been showing well at Triple-A Charlotte before that, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 72 strikeouts in 47 2/3 IP over the 12 starts prior to the last one. The White Sox even considered calling him up to make a start in June, so he could make his MLB debut later this season if he can get back on track upon his return. There is real strikeout upside here, with a career K% in the minors of 33.2 percent, although the walk rate of 16.2 percent still needs work. Even so, with an opponent batting average of .183, the former first-rounder could be a worthy stash option in deeper leagues once there is a clearer timeline for his return.

Chicago White Sox top pitching prospect Hagen Smith is currently on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Charlotte due to a left shoulder impingement. However, before suffering this injury, the young southpaw appeared to be on the verge of earning the call to the big leagues and was viewed as a high-end pitching prospect to stash. Before allowing a season-worst seven runs on June 13, the left-hander logged 19 innings (four starts) with a 2.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and a 32:7 K:BB. This impressive stretch put him high on the stash radar as the southpaw posted a 4.45 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP over the first 33 2/3 innings of the Triple-A regular season. While his injury has delayed his MLB debut, managers should continue to monitor his status, as he could push for a promotion to the South Side in late July if he returns to the mound in the near future.

Chicago White Sox top pitching prospect Hagen Smith appeared to be on the doorstep of the major leagues before suffering a shoulder impingement. Prior to this injury, Smith was showcasing high-end upside at the Triple-A level and was even mentioned as a potential name to watch as the team needed additional pitching depth. However, this injury pushed the former fifth overall pick to the 7-day injured list. However, the team has expressed optimism regarding the injury, and he may not be sidelined for much longer. While Smith had a slow start to the Triple-A regular season, he quickly found his footing. From May 27 through June 7, he posted a sharp 2.37 ERA with a 32:7 K:BB, which was a stark improvement compared to the 4.54 ERA he held over the first 33 2/3 innings. While he will likely not be in the mix to join Chicago until after the All-Star break, managers in deeper leagues should keep a close eye on his status once he embarks on a rehab assignment.

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith (shoulder) has been shut down for two weeks with a left shoulder impingement, delaying his MLB debut until some time later in the second half of the season. Chicago's fourth-ranked prospect had been performing well as of late, yielding just three earned runs on nine hits and six walks while striking out 25 over his last three starts (14 innings) heading into Saturday before getting tagged for eight runs (seven earned) and allowing a whopping four home runs in 4 1/3 innings of work in his latest outing. It felt like the left-hander's major league debut could come at any time, but fantasy managers will now have to wait until he returns to the mound and can prove to be effective once again. Without a clear timeline for return and knowing a debut won't come anytime soon, the 22-year-old is likely only worth stashing in the deepest of formats, but he could become one of the top arms to stash in all leagues later this year once he gets rolling again.

The Chicago White Sox say that left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith (shoulder) has a left-shoulder impingement, according to James Fegan of The Athletic. The initial plan is for two weeks of no throwing for Smith, followed by two more weeks of ramping up and throwing before he returns to game action in the minors. The team's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will be out for a total of four weeks, pushing back his potential big-league debut to later in the second half of the 2026 season. The 22-year-old former fifth overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Arkansas has gone 0-5 at Triple-A Charlotte this year with a 4.67 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 77:36 K:BB in 52 innings and 14 starts. Despite the lackluster surface stats, Smith was beginning to gain more momentum for his first big-league call-up in Chicago before his shoulder injury. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder should still be stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues, but those in deeper single-year formats might want to temper expectations now for what Smith might be able to provide down the stretch in the big leagues. Smith is rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues.

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith has turned the corner at Triple-A Charlotte and appears to be the next high-end pitching prospect to earn the call. The former fifth overall pick endured some growing pains at the beginning of the regular season when he posted a rough 4.54 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP over his first 33 2/3 innings of work. During this stretch, Smith struggled to command his pitches, allowing a high 7.2 BB/9. However, since this slump, the southpaw has quickly rounded into form, posting a 2.37 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP over his next three games. While he took a step back in his most recent outing, serving up eight runs (seven earned), seeing his command continue to improve is a very positive sign for his long-term outlook. While the 22-year-old will likely need to show this success over a longer period, he has a clear path to join a Chicago rotation that lacks much depth. The young left-hander has established himself as a top pitching prospect to stash in Week 12.
