Gibaut spent the final four months of last year as a dominant force in Double-A Montgomery’s bullpen. A closer throughout his three-year stint at Tulane, Gibaut saved 10 of 15 opportunities with the Biscuits, but profiles more as a setup man at the major league level.
Gibaut throws a fastball, slider and changeup, with his four-seamer sitting in the mid-90s and touching 97 mph. His power slider has a chance to be a difference-maker, but he’s not consistent enough with the pitch to keep hitters from sitting on his fastball. His changeup, meanwhile, is nasty when he throws it correctly, and it works well in keeping hitters off-balance. Gibaut is equally dominant against righthanded and lefthanded batters, but lacks command and has struggled to find a consistent alignment in his stride with his landing foot. He also tends to leave pitches up in the strike zone.
Gibault will open 2018 at Triple-A Durham with a chance to make his big league debut during the year.
