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.

Brubaker made the Opening Day roster in 2020 and made his major league debut on July 26, pitching 2 scoreless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals.
