In 2025, the Chicago White Sox have had a disastrous beginning, sitting at 11-29 and trailing the Detroit Tigers by 15 games. Despite a commendable performance by rookie Shane Smith, who has a 2.08 ERA over eight starts, the team has consistently failed to secure wins, managing just one victory during his impressive outings. Smith's strong performances highlight the disparity between his individual success and the team's overall failure, continuing a trend from their historically poor 2024 season where they lost a record 121 games. GM Chris Getz's decision to select Smith from the Rule 5 draft has been one positive amid the team's struggles.
Shane Smith has been a rare bright spot for the White Sox in a miserable 2025 season, exemplified by his shutout innings despite the team's poor performance.
Despite an impressive rookie season, Shane Smith has suffered from a lack of run support, leading to the team losing seven of his eight starts.
