Hagen Smith, the Chicago White Sox's No. 3 prospect, is slated to start for the Birmingham Barons after missing six weeks due to injuries and biomechanical adjustments. General manager Chris Getz noted Smith's previous elbow soreness and inconsistent velocity linked to mechanical delivery issues. Following successful adjustments, Smith aims to enhance his performance under the guidance of the White Sox pitching staff, focusing on improving his mechanics to achieve better consistency and health moving forward.
The soreness is gone, and now it's just appropriately building him up so he can get out there and compete.
We think it's related to his mechanics. We love the uptempo part of his delivery, but he's a guy that, on occasion, can rush out and forward.
