The fact that Jackson Smallets had just 19 innings of work as a sophomore and junior, combined, shows you just how good Gloucester Catholic’s pitching staff is every year. The Rams are the envy of most of South Jersey with the kind of arms they can run out there every season, and this spring was no different as Smallets finally got his chance to shine.
And shine he did.
The lanky right-hander dominated the competition, allowing just 12 earned runs in nearly 70 innings of work, pitching to the tune of a 1.21 ERA while striking out 66 batters. He led the Rams to another Non-Public B state championship, as he was the winning pitcher in the sectional semis and state title games.
For his career, Smallets finished with a 1.49 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 89 innings of work.
