Dylan Smith, a right-hander for the Detroit Tigers, has transitioned from a starting pitcher to a reliever due to injuries and a lack of a third pitch. After a promising 2025 season where he struck out 44% of hitters at Triple-A, he made a brief MLB debut but faced shoulder issues. At 25, Smith still has potential to develop into a solid relief option, particularly if he can improve his fastball command and consistency. The Tigers hope he can contribute to their bullpen in 2026.
