Originally a 16th round pick in the 2013 June Amateur Draft, Randolph Samuel Gassaway has made his way from the Gulf Coast League, through Aberdeen, Delmarva, and to Frederick, Bowie, but back to Frederick. Gassaway stands 6’4, 210 pounds, bats and throws right, and is currently 22 years old. He most certainly looks the part of a MLB player.
After the 2016 season, Gassaway was the O’s 24th ranked prospect according to Baseball America. In Aberdeen and Delmarva in 2016, he had a breakout year with a batting line of .340/.384/.535. Things were looking up.
