Hagen Smith Rounding Into Form at Triple-A, Emerging as a Top Pitcher to Stash?
Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith has begun to find his footing at the Triple-A level and is now firmly on the stash radar among pitching prospects. Since allowing four runs over 3 2/3 innings on May 21, the young southpaw has gone to log five innings in each of his last two games while allowing only two runs in each contest. During this 10-inning stint, Smith has struck out 14 hitters while walking only two total batters. This is worth noting, as his command was a major weakness in the opening month of the season, during which he walked a high 27 hitters over his first 33 2/3 innings. While the former fifth-overall pick will need to show this progress over a longer stretch of time, he could put himself in a position to earn the call before the All-Star break, given Chicago's lack of depth in its starting rotation.
