Cole Gibson has shown flashes for New Haven, but command is the storyline
In the 2026 season, Cole Gibson has been a workload piece for New Haven’s staff, but the numbers show a bumpy run: 34.2 innings, 26 strikeouts, 29 walks, and a 10.90 ERA. He can still miss bats, and New Haven noted a strong start with four innings and four strikeouts against Delaware State in May 2026, which hints at starter-level upside when his stuff is synced up. The fit question is simple: if your team can sharpen his command, there’s usable arm talent here; if not, the free passes will keep the ride a little too spicy.
