Gist is a prototypical college lefty with some pitchability. He's undersized at 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, but he fills the strike zone with his 88-92 mph fastball and he's able to locate his breaking pitches and changeup for strikes. Gist had a strong senior year for Georgia, striking out 79 batters and walking just 19 in 73.1 innings.
