The Book on Kyle Gibson
Prospect Info
Kyle Gibson
Born 10/23/1987
RHP, MIN
With stuff enough to be the ace of any college staff, Kyle Gibson was hidden behind Aaron Crow in Missouri. While he's still not a Crow-type talent, the big righthander is a workhorse with a high-command fastball and the determination to grind through opposing batters inning after inning. His fastball can reach 94-95mph, but he works mainly in the 91-92 range, relying on his plus slider and above-average change to beguile batters.

Player Updates and Notes
Kyle Gibson was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 2009 First Year Player Draft. This is a good sign for Gibson fans: in addition to having one of the best systems for pitching in baseball, the Twins are among the most careful teams when it comes to acquiring young ones, which means his injury has been judged to be irrelevant.
