Logan Gilbert

Success doesn’t come easily to most. That’s true for fantasy baseball novices fighting for a title as well as the players tasked with accumulating stats for our second-hand glory. It takes a lot of practice, effort, and repetition before finally getting comfortable. That’s what makes the post-hype sleeper such a...

Happy Monday, everybody! It's especially happy for Blue Jays fans that get to routinely watch one of the best offenses in baseball. Entering Sunday, the Blue Jays were averaging 4.9 runs per game (seventh in MLB) with a team OPS of .765 (second in MLB) -- and then they scored 18 runs on Sunday. They don't have George Springer yet! Vladimir Guerrero Jr. once again leads baseball with 21 home runs and is on pace for 50 over 150 games.

Gilbert (2-2) earned the win Sunday against Cleveland after tossing 6.2 innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and a walk while fanning six. Gilbert began his MLB career with two straight losses but has bounced back since then, and he's given up two or fewer earned runs in each of his last four appearances -- going 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in that span. The right-hander will try to continue his excellent run of form in his upcoming start, scheduled for next weekend at home against the Rays.

The prospect vs. the proven. With the Mariners looking to erase the disappointment from giving away a victory on Saturday night and also try to salvage a last victory on what has been a brutal road trip, the starting pitching matchup of talented but inexperienced rookie Logan Gilbert vs. reigning American League Rookie of the Year Shane Bieber didn’t seem like an equation that would result in success.

While pitchers -- and more specifically, their spin rates -- have dominated the conversation recently, let's not forget about the hitters who are going off right now. How can you start with anybody not named Jesse Winker? The guy has been a monster, adding his second three-homer game of the season Sunday. He's now batting .350 with 17 home runs. He's approaching the top 10 outfielders in our rankings.

Gilbert (1-2) allowed one earned run on two hits and four walks while striking out seven across five innings, earning the win over the Angels on Sunday. Gilbert allowed a first-inning home run to Justin Upton, who was the first batter he faced. However, Gilbert fired four scoreless frames through five innings of work. Despite walking four batters, he struck out a career-high seven en route to his first win. The 24-year-old has a 4.98 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 21.2 innings.

ANALYSIS: It's a youth movement in Seattle, with better starts for some than others. Logan Gilbert was one of those who got off to a rocky start, but that fog appears to be clearing. The 6'6, 225-lb. behemoth out of Stetson started his rookie campaign by allowing seven earned runs through 6.2 innings in his first two starts. The next time out, Gilbert went just 4.0 IP but allowed two ER, four hits, zero walks, and collected four strikeouts. His most recent outing was his best so far: 6.0 IP, two ER, five hits, one walk, and five strikeouts, bringing his total figures to 5.94 (ERA), 1.26 (WHIP), and 3.67 (FIP).

It started ominously Sunday afternoon for Mariners rookie starting pitcher Logan Gilbert. But it ended with his first big-league victory. “It’s crazy and it’s awesome,” Gilbert said. “It’s a moment I’ve dreamed of for sure. My family is here … so it’s awesome to have them here and see the first win. It’s really special.”

Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six innings versus Oakland on Monday. He did not factor in the decision. Gilbert was in line for the win when he exited the game, but Oakland rallied to tie it up in the eighth inning. The right-hander remains in search of his first major-league win, but he's seen improvement in his two starts against Oakland this year, both of which were no-decisions. He's posted a 5.94 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings since he was called up on May 13. The rookie lines up for a road start versus the Angels this weekend.

Gilbert (0-2) took the loss against Detroit on Wednesday, pitching 2.2 innings and allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two. Gilbert needed 74 pitches to retire eight batters, and only 43 of his offerings went for strikes. He has now allowed seven runs over 6.2 frames on the campaign. The right-hander has been impressive in the minors, so his struggles so far in the big leagues can likely be chalked up to a learning curve, but he'll need to pitch better moving forward to remain in the rotation. His next chance to take the mound is tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday at Oakland.
