On top of the aforementioned command and control issues, Gasser’s stuff has just not looked as crisp. His time in the big leagues in 2024 he would occasionally hit 95 on his fastball when need be, now he seems to be topping out at 92. It’s sad that coming back from Tommy John has been so much harder for him than most people these days - he’s essentially almost two full years removed from it.
Alas, I have a lot of faith in the young man and think he is a smart and applied student of the game. I think he definitely has a future in a big league rotation.
Regardless, if he can’t ever find that command, he should not have a problem becoming a better DL Hall in a relief role. Pairing a fastball that would probably be in the mid 90s, along with that slider from that arm angle in what would be short stints…..would be ghoooode. And be very tough on lefties.
I like the lad!
