On this Brewers Spotlight, we shine the light on Brewers relief pitcher prospect Shane Smith. He was the Brewer Fanatic 2023 Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Year. His story is interesting and one can't help but wish him health and success. After a solid high school career, he went to Wake Forest. Unfortunately, over three seasons there, he pitched a total of just 10 1/3 innings. He had a shoulder injury and redshirted his first season. He had taken over the role of closer for the Demon Deacons and was pitching well when Covid shut down the season. He began the following season as a starter but hurt his elbow and needed Tommy John surgery. Then he and his family made an interesting decision, and based on a strong return in 2023, it's looking like the right one!
