Hagen Smith - Prospect Profile

Jonathan Mayo - MLB.com - July 18th: "Smith could develop into the best college lefty in the class, one who struck out 13.7 in his sophomore season at Arkansas. He can run his fastball up to the upper-90s, though it averages around 93, missing a fair amount of bats."

Tyler Jennings - Prospects Live - July 13th: "A southpaw with pretty funky mechanics, command has been the biggest thing holding him back, but his stuff is absolutely electric. He’s been up to 97-98 MPH with the fastball, showcasing solid life through the zone, but it’s the slider that’s the selling point here."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - July 12th: "He’s a funky lefty with a long track record of dominance and budding stuff. Sitting 92-95, up to 98, Smith’s fastball generated a 29% whiff rate in 2023, placing him in the 96th percentile for fastball effectiveness this season. His mid-80s slider was almost as impressive."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - April 20th: "The book on Smith is deception. His delivery makes it extremely difficult to pick up his pitches out of the hand. It's a herky-jerky, full-limbed delivery with moving parts, but that's not to say it's full of effort or that it isn't repeatable."
