    Bold Predictions for the 2025 Season!

Player Outlook
Hagen Smith vs. Chase Burns isn't a debate anymore, although it was less than two years ago when they were each selected top five in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Smith is a 6-foot-3 lefty with a couple dominant pitches (fastball, slider) and worrisome control (17.6 percent walk rate at Double-A). He missed six weeks in the first half of 2025 with elbow soreness but logged a total of 89.2 innings including the Arizona Fall League. Smith lowered his walk rate to 10.5 percent in the AFL, and if he could just carry that same fringe-average control into 2026, he could still have a bright future as a mid-rotation starter or shutdown reliever. He has shown consistently that he has monster strikeout stuff (33.9 K% at Double-A, 36.8 K% in AFL), even without a reliable third pitch. The White Sox will give Smith every opportunity to succeed in the majors, given their significant investment in him. If he's throwing enough strikes this summer, he'll get the call.

  • White Sox's Hagen Smith: Returning to rotation at Double-A

    Smith (elbow) will rejoin the rotation at Double-A Birmingham on Saturday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. It will be Smith's first start since May 10, as he has been sidelined with soreness in his pitching elbow. The fifth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Smith holds a 2.10 ERA and 42:20 K:BB over 25.2 innings covering seven starts with Birmingham this season.

  • White Sox's Hagen Smith: Slowed by elbow soreness

    White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that Smith has been sidelined recently by left elbow soreness, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Previous reports indicated Smith merely had some fatigue. The good news is an MRI on Smith's elbow came back clean, and the discomfort has subsided. Smith is expected to be cleared to play catch soon, but it's unclear when he might be ready to make a start. He's posted a 2.10 ERA and 42:20 K:BB over 25.2 innings covering seven starts this season with Double-A Birmingham.

  • White Sox's Hagen Smith: Having start skipped

    Smith was pulled early from his last outing with Double-A Birmingham and will have his next start skipped due to fluctuating velocity and signs of fatigue, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. The White Sox are saying Smith is fine physically and this is more about simply managing his workload during his first full professional season. Smith has had control problems this season in issuing 20 walks over 25.2 innings, but he's still managed to post a 2.10 ERA while recording 42 strikeouts.

  • White Sox's Hagen Smith: Sent to minor-league camp

    The White Sox reassigned Smith to minor-league camp Thursday. The fifth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Smith spun three scoreless frames and struck out four across two Cactus League outings. Smith has the potential to be a quick mover through the system, although the White Sox have little reason to rush him since they're unlikely to be competitive for a while.
