    Gesell has served as UNC-Wilmington's closer the last two seasons. While not a can't-miss prospect, Gesell has arm strength on his side, touching 95 mph but typically living lower than that. He throws an average slurvy breaking ball and uses a changeup as his main out pitch. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound righthander throws with a high-effort delivery and has struggled with his control at times--he walked 5.3 per nine for his college career. He is strictly a reliever at the next level.
