College career
Smyly attended the University of Arkansas, where he played college baseball for the Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Southeastern Conference (SEC) Division I. He did not play in 2008 because he had a fractured left elbow, which required two screws. Smyly came within two outs of pitching the first no-hitter at the NCAA Division I championship tournament in 18 years as a redshirt freshman in 2009.
Smyly pitched for the Duluth Huskies of the Northwoods League, where he spent a brief time under former New York Mets Manager Terry Collins in the summer following his 2009 season. Smyly was 9-1 with a 2.80 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 103 innings in 2010, and was named All-SEC.
Professional career
In the second round (68th overall) of the 2010 MLB draft, the Detroit Tigers selected Smyly. He signed with the Tigers and received a $1.1 million signing bonus. Pitching for the Lakeland Tigers of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League and the Erie SeaWolves of the Class AA Eastern League has been a success in 2012, pitching to an 11–6 win-loss record in 22 games (21 starts) with a 2.07 earned run average (ERA) and 130 strikeouts in 126 innings pitched. On June 13, he was also FSL Pitcher of the Week and an MiLB.com Tigers Organization All-Star.
Smyly ranked as the eighth-best prospect in baseball, ahead of Jacob Turner and Nick Castellanos, as the Tigers ranked him as the third-best prospect in the organization. In 2012, the Tigers welcomed Smyly to spring training, allowing him to compete for a spot in the Tigers' starting rotation. Smyly won the championship in the beginning of the 2012 season, but the Detroit Tigers' starting lineup got off his track with the Toledo Mud Hens of the Class-AAA International League on April 7, but he was called up for his MLB debut on April 12. Due to a blister on his left hand, he was put on the disabled list on June 14 (retroactive to June 11). Smyly spent a considerable portion of August and September with the Tigers after the Tigers' trade deadline of starting An'bal Sánchez from the Miami Marlins.
He pitched 99+13 innings, putting together a 4-3 record with 94 strikeouts, 33 walks, and a 3.99 ERA on the season. He was selected to the Tigers' postseason roster.
Smyly was the winning pitcher in Game 1 of the 2012 ALCS against the New York Yankees, pitching the final two innings of the Tigers' extra-innings triumph.
Smyly spent time in spring training for the fifth spot in the Tigers' 2013 starting lineup. Porno had won the No. 66 on March 26, according to the newspaper. Smyly will start the season in the Tiger Bullpen with a 5 starter job and a Smyly bullpen. Smyly won by four perfect innings of relief in an 8–3 victory over the Yankees on April 5, his first save in his career after pitching four flawless innings of relief. Smyly set a 6–0 record in 63 games as a reliever, with 2 saves in a 2.37 ERA. He was a leader in innings pitched (76) and strikeouts (81).
Doug Fister, the Tigers' starter, had been dubbed the No. 1 in the trade offseason. The 2014 Tigers rotation features five starters. He started six innings out of the bullpen before making his season debut as a starter on April 18. In a May 3 game against the Kansas City Royals, he pitched seven shutout innings to win the game. This was his first game as a starter since July 6, 2012, which also saw a victory over Kansas City. Smyly matched his season high in strikeouts (8), despite only three innings, on July 25, finishing the game with a career-high 11 strikeouts in 5+2/3 innings.
The Detroit Tigers traded Smyly to the Tampa Bay Rays alongside Willy Adames on July 31, 2014, bringing Austin Jackson to the Seattle Mariners, Nick Franklin from the Mariners to the Rays, and David Price to the Tigers. After pitching a career-high 153 innings, Rays' boss Joe Maddon announced on September 9, that they will suspend Smyly for the remainder of the season. Smyly went 3–1 with a 1.70 ERA in seven starts after being traded to the Rays. Opponents charged him with.155, a figure that led the AL through the 1980s. He was 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA in 28 games, 25 of which were starts, in the 2014 season.
In 2015, he was 5–2 with a 3.11 ERA in 12 starts, when he struck out 77 batters in 66+2/3 innings.
Smyly obtained his arbitration case against the Rays on February 4, 2016. In 2016, he made $3.75 million. In 2016, he was 7-12 with a 4.88 ERA in 30 starts, in which he bowled 175+13 innings. He gave up 32 home runs, the fifth most in the American League.
The Rays traded Smyly to the Seattle Mariners for Mallex Smith, Ryan Yarbrough, and Carlos Vargas on January 11, 2017. Smyly began the season on the disabled list. Smyly's teammate Tommy John will need torn left elbow ulnar collateral ligament ligament tear, which he suffered the following month, thus ending his season with Seattle without him having started a game.
