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. Though he suffered a few setbacks in 2011, he still managed a near 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio, further showing that he's only a hair's breadth (or a string of good starts) away from being a permanent big-league fixture.
