“One of MLB’s most dominant relievers this season started each game the same as he did as when he was in middle school.
It was a part of Cade Smith’s routine prior to signing with the Cleveland Guardians, before he had a 2024 rookie season where he shut down the opposing team consistently with a 1.91 ERA.
