Standing 6-foot-5, 230-pounds, it's tough to miss Gensler. While he gets away with strength at the plate (102.3 EV), he shows promise on the mound as a senior. While he pulls off to his glove side a touch, he's still able to work east/west with his repertoire. Gensler's FB lived 85-87 with arm-side movement, while also mixing in a low-70s CB and high-70s CH. Interesting follow as he goes into his senior season.
