Justin Gamble  
Relief Pitcher | Port Hope Battery

Pitching
The Port Hope Battery hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. But Gamble, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Gamble does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Gamble is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gamble has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Port Hope Battery was thinking when they signed Gamble to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. One has to wonder what Justin Gamble is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Gamble.
