It's looking like a horrible pick.

Sadly, I could not agree more.

Nobody reads my non hot takes so again, FG's fantasy oriented report had him back end 100.

analytics like him. is he really a catcher? who knows. fun guy to have as like the wild card in a top 8ish overall system after the draft.

WTF - On chisox.com I saw a headline about Hagen Smith and the article was saying something about him striking out 9 in 4 2/3…. So I look at the box score and see he went 1IP with more walks than strikeouts in relief.

Talk about a gut punch.

God damn it.

PS - I am almost ready to write the kid off… unfortunately. f***.

Watching him pitch is painful. My son and I watched a game before the injury and he is tough to watch with his throwing motion. He can't pitch 5 innings and he walks everyone so he's a terrible RP option. Cut your losses and get something. Maybe try to get another struggling first round pick from another organization.
