Logan Gilbert Stats & Scouting Report — College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects

60. Slider: 55. Changeup: 60.Curveball: 60. Control: 55.

TRACK RECORD: The Mariners drafted Gilbert 14th overall in 2018 after an impressive college career at Stetson that included winning Atlantic Sun Conference pitcher of the year honors as a sophomore. Gilbert battled mononucleosis and had toe surgery after signing, but he showed no ill effects in his pro debut. He was named the Mariners’ minor league pitcher of the year in 2019 after jumping three levels to Double-A. He spent 2020 at the alternate training site and showed an uptick in stuff.

SCOUTING REPORT: Gilbert is a tall, long-limbed righthander who dominates with his fastball. His heater generally sits 93-95 mph and plays up with riding life. He generates tremendous extension from his 6-foot-6 frame. Gilbert’s 11-to-5, downer curveball flashes plus, and his changeup made huge strides at the alternate site to give him a third potential plus offering. He also has a horizontal slider he boosted into the low 80s with increased sharpness that flashes above-average. Everything Gilbert throws plays up with his advanced pitchability and above-average control despite a long arm action.

THE FUTURE: Gilbert still has to show he can maintain his improved stuff over a full season. If he can, he has front-of-therotation upside.
