Charlie Smith brings size, strike-throwing experience, and innings-munching upside for Memphis
In the 2025 season, Memphis RHP Charlie Smith worked 44.0 innings over 13 appearances, posting a 2-0 record with a 4.30 ERA, and he entered the 2026 roster listed at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. The appeal here is simple: he looks like a durable, experienced right-hander who can give a staff length and compete in the zone, even if the run prevention was more mid-rotation than dominant in 2025. For a team, he fits best as a reliable depth arm with upside if his stuff sharpens.
