Suppresses damage and throws strikes — the full package.
The simulator expects 0.416 bases allowed per batter faced against him — better than 79th percentile of qualified pitchers. His standout tool is Strikeouts (99th percentile). The soft spot is Quiet Contact (12th percentile). Short relief stints inflate strikeout rates a touch, so read the Strikeouts spoke with that in mind.
Same archetype, nearest by rate — the pitchers whose profile looks most like this one.
Bases per batter faced
| Cade Smith | League | Percentile | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bases per ball in play(fewer = better) | .563 | .536 | 79th |
| Walk rate(fewer = better) | 7% | 9% | 80th |
| Strikeout rate(higher = better) | 32% | 23% | 99th |
Batters go to the pull side off him most often, but the hardest contact goes up the middle.
Pull and oppo are relative to each batter's stance, so this pools all the hitters he faced.
Escaped damage once — a crushed ball the simulator scores as a near-certain hit died in a glove behind him.
Burned 2 times — balls with a hit probability under 20% that found grass anyway.
* Approximate: sacrifice flies and bunts aren't distinguishable in our data, so every ball in play counts as an at-bat. Slightly off official figures.
