Hagen Smith is a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. In 2026 he struck out 41 batters over 28.0 innings across 18 appearances, going 3-3. His ERA of 1.29 is 69.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — the best on his team, and 4th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 2.35 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 36.2% of swings (15.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 14.5% of the batters he faced and struck out 37.3%. His 0.8 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
