Mets: Robert Gsellman’s best and worst case scenario for 2019
Robert Gsellman looked impressive in his first season with the New York Mets as a full-time reliever. In year two in this role, what are the best and worst possible outcomes?
I’m an admitted mark for New York Mets pitcher Robert Gsellman. I was at the 2018 game when he picked up his first career save against the Arizona Diamondbacks. At the time, I hoped I was witnessing what was the first of many saves to come.
I doubt this is the direction Gsellman goes. While I do believe he has the toughness to work as a closer, he doesn’t have the “stuff” to strikeout batters nearly enough. Things could change. In the meantime, Gsellman can serve the Mets best as a multi-inning threat.
