Robert Gsellman looks to bounce back in 2021

It’s been four years and a lot of beard growth since Robert Gsellman finished 2016 with a 2.42 ERA in seven starts and entered the 2017 season as the 17th ranked prospect in baseball according to Baseball Prospectus. This is firmly a positive vibe zone, so the nicest thing I can say about Gsellman’s shortened 2020 season is that it was not what you want.

In six total appearances, four of them as a starter, totaling 14 innings, Gsellman had a 9.44 ERA, 7.55 FIP, 2.143 WHIP, and eight walks to go with his nine strikeouts. Hopefully at this point you agree that those numbers are very much not what you want.
