Dave Smith vs. Jorge Sosa — Career Comparison

Jorge Sosa built a career as a starting pitcher and Dave Smith as a reliever — different jobs with different demands — but on the metrics that apply to both, a comparison is still worth making. Dave Smith led in home run suppression (HR9+ 198 vs 109), walk avoidance (BB%+ 100 vs 87), and skill-based run prevention (DICE+ 104 vs 93). Role difference aside, Dave Smith holds a clear edge on every meaningful shared measure.
