Robert Gsellman is a right-handed pitcher drafted by the Mets in 2011. The 21 year-old pitcher has pitched in four seasons in the organization ranging from the Gulf-Coast league when he was 17 to Savannah last year. Overall he is 17-15 with a 2.85 ERA, a 1.265 WHIP, 6.9 K/9, 2.81 K/BB.
Last year he was 10-6 in Savannah over 20 games and a 2.56 ERA and 116.0 innings with a 1.345 WHIP, 7.1 K/9 and a 2.71 K/BB. He’s still young, so the hope is he starts moving up through the system last year. The ceiling for Gsellman is probably a back of the rotation type pitcher. In 2013 he pitched 5 games in Savannah and 2 in St. Lucie. It may be slightly disappointing that he was in Savannah for all of last season, but the Mets are stacked with pitching prospects. Hopefully he starts off the year in St. Lucie.
Amazing Avenue has a good write up on his stuff that doesn’t show up on a stat sheet.
