Chicago Reassigns Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith To Minor-League Camp
The Chicago White Sox have reassigned pitching prospects Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith to minor-league camp. Schultz finishes Cactus League action with three innings pitched, allowing zero earned runs, one hit, and three walks while striking out one. The Sox's 2021 first-round draft pick dominated at Double-A last season with a 1.48 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a 22.6 percent K-BB%. The 6-foot-9 southpaw will presumably start at Triple-A but Chicago's top prospect will likely make his MLB debut at some point this season, so redraft managers will want to keep an eye out for a promotion. Smith, on the other hand, finished with three Cactus League IP, also allowing zero earned runs, one hit, and three walks, but was able to notch four strikeouts. The 2024 fifth-overall draft pick made just three starts at High-A last year and will need more time in the minors; the 21-year-old has an ETA of 2026 per MLB.com.
