For a first-round draft pick, the excitement surrounding Logan Gilbert has really died down. Perhaps that’s because we really don’t know much about Logan Gilbert, Seattle Mariner. Before he could even begin his professional career, he was diagnosed with a nasty case of Mononucleosis, sidelining him for the rest of the 2018 season. All we have to go on are his pre-draft, college scouting reports. And with an influx of young pitching talent into the organization this offseason, Gilbert feels like a forgotten man.
Gilbert was the first pitcher selected in the first round by the Mariners since drafting Danny Hultzen with the second overall pick in 2011.
