77+1⁄3 innings. [18]

San Francisco Giants

On February 5, 2024, the Brewers traded Small to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash considerations. [22] He was placed on the 60–day injured list to begin the season after suffering a moderate right oblique strain. [23] Small was activated from the injured list on August 16 and was subsequently optioned to the Triple–A Sacramento River Cats. [24] On November 22, the Giants non–tendered Small, making him a free agent. [25]

Pitching style

Small features a lively low- to mid-90 mph fastball—scouts often described it as a "rising" fastball—a curveball and changeup. [27] He has been known to vary his windup timing on his pitches, to give him an advantage over hitters, similar to pitchers such as Marcus Stroman and Johnny Cueto. [28]
