Scouting Report: Hagen Smith
Chicago White Sox | SP
Overall
Summary
Hagen Smith, White Sox 5th overall pick in 2024 MLB Draft, is a promising Triple-A pitching prospect showing steady progression through the minor league system.

Promoted to Triple-A in 2026, Smith has struck out 35 batters over 26 1/3 innings with a 4.10 ERA (inflated by a poor May 9 outing). Excluding that start, his ERA drops to 2.82 over 22 1/3 innings.
