Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
A sleeper in the Brewers' system who was poached by the White Sox with the first pick in the 2024 Rule 5 draft, Smith has a chance to be a viable rotation option for the White Sox as early as this season. He'll need to be kept on the big-league roster (or injured list) all season, otherwise the White Sox would have to return him to the Brewers. Smith, who has a 93-mph fastball and throws a pair of breaking balls, logged 94.1 innings across Double-A and Triple-A, with all his work as a starter (16 starts) coming at Double-A. He logged a 2.96 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 74 strikeouts in 67 innings as a starter, and also struck out 39 in 27.1 innings as a reliever. Smith may be eased into his big-league career as a low-leverage multi-inning reliever, but he could also get some starts in the first half. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in March of 2025.
Delivers another quality start
Smith didn't factor into the decision against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.1 innings.
Analysis
The right-hander carried momentum from arguably his best outing of the season earlier in the week, a seven-inning, one-hit shutout of the Royals, and was sharp again against MLB's highest-scoring offense. Smith retired 10 of his first 11 batters before surrendering a solo homer to Aaron Judge in the fourth inning and later gave up another long ball to Austin Wells in the seventh. Aside from the two mistakes, Smith limited New York to just one other hit while racking up strikeouts. The 25-year-old will take a 3.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 112:50 K:BB across 120.1 innings into his next scheduled start against the Twins.

Set for first All-Star nod
Smith has been selected to participate in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.
Analysis
Smith is the first rookie pitcher in White Sox history to make the All-Star team. He's also the second player since at least 2000 to be named an All-Star the season immediately after being selected in the Rule 5 Draft, wit Dan Uggla the only other to accomplish the feat. In a season where the White Sox are once again among the worst teams in baseball, Smith's play has been a silver lining.
