The Mets have promoted right-handed pitching prospect Robert Gsellman from High-A St. Lucie to Double-A Binghamton and sent fellow right-handed pitching prospect John Gant down from Binghamton to St. Lucie, per Lynn Worthy. The 21-year-old Gsellman has been excellent this year in the Florida State League, posting a 1.75 ERA in eight starts for the St. Lucie Mets with 6.5 strikeouts, 1.9 walks, and 0.2 home runs allowed per nine innings.
Gsellman joined us for a chat with the community here at Amazin' Avenue last fall and has caught the eye of Jeff Moore of Baseball Prospectus, who wrote him up recently and talked about him on a recent episode of Amazin' Avenue Audio.
