With a 6’ 6” frame and some of the biggest hands of the sport, Logan Gilbert was built to be a pitcher in the 2020s.
A top prospect in the 2016 Draft, Gilbert went 14th Overall, and worked his way to the Mariners roster in 2021 joining the rotation, which he has remained ever since. Gilbert went 6-6 in his rookie year, and helped Seattle make the playoffs in his first full season off of a 13-6 record and a 3.20 ERA. Gilbert again won 13 Games (3.73) the following season, but had a losing record last year (9-12), although he had his finest season to date with league-leading 108.2 Innings Pitched and an 0.887 WHIP. He was also an All-Star for the first time and was sixth in Cy Young voting.
The best should be yet to come for Gilbert entering 2025.
