A few days ago the Bend Elks signed Gabe Smith who is in the transfer portal from UW (another Bonny Lake player). He was touted by D-1 baseball prior to the 2021 season as seen in this tweet:
His 2021 season didn't play out quite that way (WHIP of 2.0, with an ERA above 6). He did well though in his early PAC12 appearances against the Beavs. He pitched 3-1/3 inning with only 1 base runner (a double to Dernedde).
He has expressed an interest in using the portal to transfer to OSU.

That pitch looked good. Over the plate, low in the zone. If he transfers to OSU we can teach him how to bean right handers with it.

As of 7/18, Smith has been unimpressive in 2 outings in the WCL. Based on a very small sample, I'd hope the Beavs could do better if they wade into pitching acquisitions from the portal.

And then there was 7/25, when Smith protected a 1 run lead in 8th, but entering with runners on 2nd & 3rd and no outs. He very wickedly struck out the next 3 batters....and then got the save with a ground out, flyout, swinging strikeout (with a BB thrown in) in the 9th. But it's summer ball - of the 7 batters he faced, 3 were D-1. |
