Looked very impressive in his first playoff start in his young high school career in Game 1 against Bob Jones. Facing a lineup that featured multiple power threats and the ability to hang up a bunch of runs, Smith held the Patriots at bay for the most part in this start. Pitched at 82-84 mph for most of the game, but ran the fastball up to 85 mph in one of his last pitches in the 7th inning. Changeup at 75-77 mph worked to both-sided hitters thanks to excellent feel to pronate and get swings and misses in any count on the pitch. Got the win on the mound going 6.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 4 BB & 7 K’s.
RHP Brewer Smith got the starting nod on the mound in the 2nd game of the season for the Bucs & was solid in three innings of work. Fastball worked around 83-84 mph during the outing, but the pitch that gave the Senator hitters the most trouble was the breaking ball. Smith had it working early on in the outing, showing two-plane action with hard bite at the end. Generated many swings and misses on breaking balls located low/below the zone. Paired it with the fastball well, mixing high fastball and burying breaking balls in the dirt. Got himself out a bases loaded jam in the 3rd and locked the command back in with two straight punchouts to end the inning. Only real blemish was a solo home run he surrendered in the 2nd inning.
