Gsellman has been dominant while adjusting to relief role
I like Robert Gsellman coming out of the bullpen.
Scratch that, I really, really like Gsellman coming out of the bullpen.
In the first two games he pitched this season, he looked absolutely fantastic, tossing 1.2 innings while striking out four of the seven batters he faced, and allowing just two hits.
On Opening Day at Citi Field, Gsellman was dominant, striking out all three Cardinals batters he faced -- Paul DeJong (who went on to hit a couple of dingers off of Steven Matz on Sunday), Kolten Wong, and Yairo Munoz. Gsellman's sinker was responsible for nine of these strikes. Yes, his sinker's back, and it looks better than ever.
