The Chicago White Sox have added to the future of their pitching staff.
The Sox drafted Akansas left-handed pitcher Hagen Smith with the fifth overall selection in the 2024 MLB Draft on Sunday.Smith was regarded as one of the best pitchers in the draft alongside Wake Forest's Chase Burns. He earned 2024 SEC Pitcher of the Year honors after he recorded 11 quality starts and 11 double-digit strikeout games during the Razorbacks' 2024 season.Smith had a 9-2 record, a 2.04 ERA and recorded 161 strikeouts across 84.0 innings pitching for the Hogs.
He passed David Walling's 155 strikeouts in 1999.In his three years, Smith also lowered his ERA from 4.66 to 2.04.That Arkansas career stemmed from a stellar prep career, where Smith tied a Texas prep baseball record with seven no-hitters as a senior in the 2021 season.Smith is the first Arkansas player to get selected in the first round of the MLB Draft since OF Heston Kjerstad was taken second overall by the Baltimore Orioles in 2020.
