Gasner has a strong build for his age, listed at 6-foot, 173-pounds and there’s still plenty of room to pack on muscle to his high-waisted frame in the coming years. The L/L prospect led the entire event in max EV (T82.3 mph) and max distance (275’), all while boasting a controlled operation with athletic hands and a balanced finish, displaying feel for the barrel with a middle of the field approach. He displayed soft hands and athletic actions while taking his reps at first base. On the mound, the southpaw displayed a simple delivery with a high leg-kick and drop/drive lower-half, transitioning into a loose, high ¾ slot. His fastball worked up to 74 mph, setting up a low-60s curveball and mid-60s changeup.
