2017 RHP Logan Gilbertson, Cabot High School
Gilbertson is a 6-foot-5 190-pound right-hander with a projectable frame and an athletic build. He pitches from a H ¾ arm slot with a quick clean arm action. He does a sound job repeating his mechanics and rhythm. He uses a distinct balance point to allow him to drive to home plate, remaining balnced through out. His fastball works 83-85 mph with the ability to touch 88 mph. He has the ability to locate both his curveball (69-72 mph) and change up (72-75 mph). Overall Gilbertson is a projectable right-hander with a feel to pitch, he should throw harder as he continues to add strength.
