Notes
	Cade Smith has quickly emerged as one of baseball's most dominant late-inning arms. His bat-missing ability has remained consistent across both seasons, posting a 35.1% strikeout rate over his first 149 MLB innings with excellent control (6.1% BB%). While his ERA rose to 2.93 in 2025 as his fly-ball rate and HR% ticked up slightly, the underlying profile still supports high-end relief production. The 2026 projections forecast roughly 30 saves, 91 strikeouts, and a 3.05 ERA across 71 innings as Cleveland's primary closer in the top tier of relievers. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	I know Mason Miller is THE relief pitcher household name these days, but Cade Smith could be joining that conversation after this year. In his only two seasons in the big leagues, Smith has posted 12+ K/9s and sub 2 FIPs in each season, making him as reliable and excellent as any reliever in the game.
