Zack Gelof didn’t make his major league debut with the Oakland Athletics until July 14, but ended up leading the team in fWAR and looked like a building block for the next good A’s team.
How Acquired?
The Athletics drafted Gelof in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of Virginia.
What were the expectations?
Gelof entered the 2023 season as one of Oakland’s top prospects. He had a good showing in a small sample during the spring, but began the season on the injured list at Triple A.
