F.A.Q.

Answer:  Smith-Shawver's key focus should be on pitch location, particularly with his fastball, which has led to allowing too many home runs. By maintaining better command and mixing in his secondary pitches effectively, he could solidify his place in the Braves' starting rotation and become a valuable contributor in fantasy leagues.

Answer:  AJ Smith-Shawver would add significant depth to the Padres' pitching staff, showcasing a mid-90s fastball complemented by a changeup that produced a high whiff rate in limited major league action. His youth and potential to contribute immediately make him a solid fit for a team looking to rebuild their rotation.
