Early Life and Amateur Career

Brubaker attended Tecumseh High School in New Carlisle, Ohio and played college baseball at the University of Akron.[1] In 2015, his junior year, he went 5–4 with a 3.63 ERA over 15 starts.[2] He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the sixth round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft.[3]

Professional career

Brubaker signed with Pittsburgh and made his professional debut that season with the West Virginia Black Bears, compiling a 6–4 record with a 2.82 ERA over 15 starts.[4] In 2016, he played for the West Virginia Power and the Bradenton Marauders where he pitched to a combined 6–11 record with a 4.44 ERA in 26 starts between the two clubs, and in 2017, he pitched with the Altoona Curve, going 7–6 with a 4.44 ERA in 26 games (24 starts).

Brubaker began 2018 with Altoona and was promoted to the Indianapolis Indians in May.[5] In 28 starts between both teams, he went 10–6 with a 2.81 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP.[6] After the season, the Pirates named Brubaker their minor league pitcher of the year.[7][8] The Pirates added him to their 40-man roster after the season.[9] He returned to Indianapolis to begin 2019, but appeared in only six games during the season due to injury.
