Former LSU relief pitcher [autotag]Paul Gervase[/autotag] has been named to the South Atlantic League All-Star team.
Gervase was drafted by the New York Mets in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB draft and signed with them that summer. He was then transferred to the Mets High-A club, the Brooklyn Cyclones. That is where Gervase made his mark in 2023.
The righty was superb across his team-high 31 appearances out of the Brooklyn bullpen. Across his 47.0 innings of work, the 6’10 reliever notched a 1.72 ERA and struck out 76 batters.
A 2022 12th-round pick by the Mets organization, Gervase was, statistically speaking, one of the best relief arms across the circuit. Amongst relief pitchers with at least 30 games played, no player in the South Atlantic League had a lower ERA than Gervase’s mark of 1.72.
Paul’s success did not stop there, though. He was promoted to the Mets Double-A squad, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. The future looks bright for this former Tiger!
Congratulations to Paul Gervase who has been named to the South Atlantic League All-Star Team after posting a 1.72 ERA with the Cyclones across 47.0 innings of relief. The former LSU Tiger struck out 76 in 47.0 innings. #AmazinStartsHere
