Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Tristan Smith fella from Clemson. Folks keep talkin’ ’bout him, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, ya know?
Who is this Tristan Smith anyway?
Now, from what I hear, this boy, Tristan Smith, he’s a pitcher for them Clemson Tigers. A left-handed pitcher, they say. Sounds fancy, huh? He throws the ball real good, I guess. Folks were sayin’ he struck out a whole bunch of hitters in some game. Nine of ’em, they said! Nine! That’s a lot, even for someone who don’t know much ’bout baseball like me.
- He’s a lefty pitcher
- Plays for Clemson Tigers
- Struck out a bunch of hitters, like, nine of ’em!
They say he joined up with the Tigers in 2023. Been playin’ for ’em ever since, in 2023 and 2024, so they tell me. He’s from some place called Boiling Springs, South Carolina. Never been there myself, but I reckon it’s a nice enough place. Probably got some springs, I imagine.
Is he any good, this Tristan Smith?
Well, seems like folks think he’s somethin’ special. They wouldn’t be talkin’ ’bout him so much if he wasn’t, right? I heard tell he’s “getting the nod” for somethin’ or other. That sounds important. Like they’re pickin’ him to do somethin’ big. Maybe pitch in a real important game or somethin’.
Now, there’s another Tristan somethin’-or-other at Clemson too, seems like. A football player named Tristan Leigh. He’s a big fella, plays on the line, blockin’ and such. They say he’s a five-star recruit, which I guess is a real big deal in football. He came to Clemson in 2021, and they say he’s gonna be even better in 2023. But this ain’t about him, this is about that Tristan Smith, the pitcher.
So what’s the big deal with Tristan Smith?
Well, like I said, he throws that ball real good, and he strikes out a whole bunch of hitters. That’s what pitchers do, I reckon. And Clemson, they seem to like him a lot. He’s a Tiger, through and through. And folks ’round here, they love them Tigers, ya know? So if he’s good for the Tigers, he’s good for folks ’round here. Simple as that.
Why all the fuss?
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I reckon people like watchin’ someone who’s good at what they do. And if this Tristan Smith is as good as they say, well, that’s somethin’ worth watchin’, I suppose. It’s like watchin’ a good chicken catch a bug, fast and clean. You appreciate the skill, ya know? Even if you don’t know nothin’ ’bout catchin’ bugs or pitchin’ baseballs.
Plus, Clemson’s a big deal ’round here. Folks get real excited about their sports teams. So when a fella like Tristan Smith comes along and does good, well, it gets people talkin’. And that’s just the way it is.
Final Thoughts on Tristan Smith
So, there ya have it. That’s what I know ’bout Tristan Smith. He’s a pitcher for Clemson, he strikes out a lot of hitters, and folks seem to think he’s pretty darn good. He’s got folks buzzing, and that’s enough for me. If you wanna know more, you go ask someone who knows more ’bout baseball than this old woman. But from what I hear, that boy’s got a bright future ahead of him. Maybe he’ll even lead them Tigers to some big ol’ victory. Who knows? That’s the fun of it, I guess. Watchin’ and seein’ what happens.
And hey, if you’re lookin’ for a good game to watch, maybe go see this Tristan Smith pitch. Sounds like he puts on a good show.
One more thing…
I almost forgot! People also talk about Tristan da Cunha. Sounds like an island or something, not sure what it has to do with our Tristan Smith, but maybe they’re friends, or maybe Tristan Smith wants to go visit that island someday. Who knows? Just something else I heard people mumbling about.
Anyways, that’s all I got. Go Tigers!
