NatsGM Prospect Spotlight – Gabe Klobosits

Gabe Klobosits     RHP     Potomac Nationals (High-A)     Dates Evaluated: 5/4 & 4/25

Fastball (60/65)     Slider (40/45)     Splitter (50/50)     Command (40/45)

Klobosits was Washington’s 36th Round selection in the 2017 MLB Draft from Auburn University.  Listed at 6-7 270lbs, Klobosits is a mountain of a man, with tree trunks for legs and a frame resembling an NFL offensive lineman.  The almost 23-year-old (born 5/16/95) throws from a high 3/4s arm slot and utilizes a simple, 1-step windup into his delivery.  Klobosits uses a waist-high leg kick into a medium to high effort delivery, with notable extension toward home plate.  Due to his size and some noise in his motion, he struggles to consistently repeat his mechanics.  He is a good athlete for his size and fields his position fairly well.  Klobosits understands his role as a closer and aggressively attacks opposing hitters.

Klobosits features a 3-pitch repertoire consisting of a fastball, slider and split-finger.  His fastball sits 93-96mph with late cutting action away from righties.  The slider is 85-86mph with hard sweeping movement, similar but more extreme than his fastball.  The shape causes him to struggle throwing it for a strike and I fear more advanced hitters will recognize the spin and take it for a ball.  It is effective but projects as a fringe-average pitch.  Finally he throws a 90mph split-finger that resembles a fastball but drops down-and-in to righties.  Due to the velocity and late movement, I expect the splitter to induce weak contact rather than whiffs – That said it projects as a future average offering.

Klobosits is a pure relief prospect armed with a plus fastball and two potentially effective off-speed pitches, especially his splitter.  I would like to see more of his slider and splitter, as the sample is limited, but I feel comfortable projecting him as a future middle reliever with upside.  Klobosits could see a midseason promotion to Double-A and be major league ready late in 2019.

  1. Special kid shedding good light this year .
    We will take a solid outing from Tomas Alastre even if it came under get away school kids day with the buses running. Werecyou there?
    Prayers on Daniel Murphy knees!

  2. Reynolds 2 gives Knorr more lineup flexibility than Almanzcar and Dominguez
    Speaking of bullpens. I like the length of Sens bullpen missing Brinley. Ames and Fleck bridge the game for Self and Harper.

  3. Ryan. For years we have discussed when the first Nats/Os might go down. Something would stink in Denmark as Shakespeare might say if in an Os overhaul the Nats don’t add a bullpen chip

  4. Would you change your name officially ?
