Hagen Smith Emerging as Name to Stash in White Sox System
Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith is showcasing high upside at the Triple-A level and is making a strong case to be viewed as a solid stash option in deeper 12+ team leagues ahead of Week 7. Smith joined the White Sox with the fifth overall selection in the 2024 MLB Draft and has quickly progressed through the system during his young MiLB career. During the 2025 campaign, Smith spent his entire season with Double-A and logged 75 2/3 innings with a 3.57 ERA with 108 punchouts and 56 walks. Despite his shaky command, Smith was sent to Triple-A to begin the 2026 campaign and has continued to show steady progress. Through his first 26 1/3 innings at Triple-A, he has struck out an impressive 35 batters. While his 4.10 ERA seems high, it is highly inflated by his recent five-run outing on May 9. Removing that start, Smith would carry a 2.82 ERA over 22 1/3 innings. If Smith continues this trajectory, he should be in the mix to join the rotation in the coming weeks.
