A foreign pitcher who broke hearts of Hanwha Eagles fans twice last year was promoted to the Major League in a surprise move. However, the result was me, too. Birch Smith, who is included in the Miami Marlins' opening entry, continues to pitch uneasy. It is a precarious situation where it is unknown when he will be notified of his trip to the minor leagues. Smith, who signed a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays ahead of this season, was sluggish with an 8.44 ERA at exhibition games regardless of win or loss. However, Miami brought Smith in ahead of the opening game and made an extraordinary move to include him in the opening roster. For Smith, he is a relief pitcher who will return to the Major League for the first time in three years after the Oakland Athletics in 2021. However, his performance in the exhibition game has not changed. Smith pitched as the second pitcher at a home game against the Los Angeles Angels at Londipo Park in Miami, Florida, and allowed three hits, two walks, and two runs during two innings. Although he threw a fastball of 95 miles, he failed to meet major league hitters. Taking the mound in the top of the fifth inning when his team was losing 2-4, Smith gave up two runs on three consecutive hits with a sacrifice fly. In the top of the sixth inning, he was on the verge of losing one out and runners on the first and second bases with one out, but managed to block a run by two outfield flies. Miami, which took the mound in a two-point gap and came up to prevent additional runs in the middle, but rather lost a point and the gap widened, eventually lost 2-10, losing its seventh consecutive game. The 2023 professional baseball exhibition game between the Hanwha Eagles and the Lotte Giants was held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 26th.

The opening game of the Hanwha Eagles and Kiwoom Heroes held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 1st. Smith is pitching. Smith, who allowed five hits, two strikeouts, and two runs in two innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 30th of last month and one walk and no run in the ⅓ innings against the Los Angeles Angels on the 2nd, recorded an 8.31 ERA with two runs on the day. Smith had a bad relationship with the KBO league. He signed a $1 million contract with the Hanwha Eagles last year. He highly appreciated his experience playing in the Japanese league and throwing fast balls over 150 kilometers. However, he was concerned about his injury history. Smith showed confidence but returned home hurt in his first game. In the opening game against the Kiwoom Heroes on April 2, he allowed three hits and two runs in two ⅔ and voluntarily left the mound due to shoulder pain. Since then, he has not been able to return to the mound again, and was scheduled to leave Korea after being announced on waivers on April 19. It was not a good time to leave Korea either. He had a war of words with his fans on social media and even made disparaging comments about Korea as a trashy country, further increasing his disappointment. Smith, who did not even throw properly in the KBO League, was lucky to enter the Major League, but he was in a situation where it was not easy to endure with his skills.
