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

Latest Fantasy Rumors
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.
