Orioles To Promote Trey Gibson
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Trey Gibson has been added to the Orioles' active roster and is set to make his MLB debut as a starting pitcher against the Yankees on Sunday, filling in for injured Trevor Rogers.
- Gibson, 23, has shown improvement in Triple-A with a 2.55 ERA over his last five outings after a rocky start to the season, despite overall modest stats including a 4.01 ERA and a 21.9% strikeout rate.
- Originally undrafted due to the shortened 2020 draft and an unremarkable college career, Gibson was signed by the Orioles in 2023 and has since become a top pitching prospect, ranked 46th by ESPN and 72nd by Baseball America.
- Gibson's pitching arsenal includes at least six pitches, with four rated highly, though his command is still developing; the Orioles' coaching staff aims to refine his pitch selection to help him succeed as a major league starter.
- Known for generating ground balls and strikeouts in the minors, Gibson's 3.99 minor league ERA suggests he has potential but has yet to fully dominate hitters at that level.
