Mark Gajowski’s left arm flashed real upside, but Albany has used him in a mix of starts and relief
In the 2026 season, Albany’s Mark Gajowski showed the kind of arm that can change innings: he delivered 4.0 scoreless relief innings with 6 strikeouts at Yale, then later started and worked 4.0 innings with 2 earned runs and 4 strikeouts against UMass.[6][15] He’s a 5-foot-11 left-hander who was also trusted in multiple high-leverage looks in 2025, but his results were uneven—at times missing bats, at other times struggling with command and damage on contact.[2][7][10][11] If your team values a competitive, versatile southpaw with strikeout flashes and room to polish consistency, he’s worth a hard look.[6][15]
