Gibler is a pitchability lefthander with a 6-foot, 175-pound frame. After sitting in the upper 80s and touching 92 during the 2023 showcase season, Gibler has pitched around 90-91 and touched 93 early in the 2024 season. He spins the baseball reasonably well and has a chance for an above-average curveball in the upper 70s, but he’s also introduced a low-80s slider to his repertoire. Gibler mixes in a solid low-to-mid-80s changeup to give himself a solid four-pitch mix. While nothing projects as plus currently, he moves well on the mound with a clean arm slot and has a chance to be an above-average or better strike-thrower. Gibler is committed to Arkansas, and teams might prefer to let him get to campus and add more power to his pitch mix, though he’s not the biggest player and might not have significant physical projection to dream on.
