Lefty depth arm with comeback grit and a live, useful profile
In the 2026 season, Gelbsman was a Boston College sophomore left-handed pitcher who saw limited action but gave the Eagles a clean, scoreless inning in his debut against Clemson, showing he can step in without blinking. He entered 2026 after a 2025 comeback season at Albany in which he posted a 3.32 ERA over 21.2 innings, held hitters to a .176 average, and worked back from an injury-shortened 2024. The appeal is straightforward: a resilient southpaw with enough command and competitiveness to help as a matchup or depth piece, though he profiles more as a role arm than a headline starter right now.
