Opening day for the Patriots was a warm welcome to the Gunn show. The San Diego standout started the day on the bump for the Patriots and also batted in the clean-up spot. On the mound, he threw for 5 innings, allowing just 2 hits and no runs allowed. He also struck out 8, while walking one. He utilized his fastball (84-86, T87) to get ahead of hitters, and used his secondaries (Slider (74-76, changeup 76-77) to put guys away. The fastball showed controlled, arm-side run, while the slider displayed east-to-west sweeping action. At the plate, Gunn helped his own cause, going 1-3 with a 3-run homer to the pull side in the first. Standing at 6’1” and weighing in at 200lbs, the future Red Raider looks to continue to build on his previous season with the Patriots, where he posted a 1.73 ERA in 56 innings.
Gunn got the start and turned in a quality outing, tossing 4 strong innings while striking out 5. He had a clean, repeatable delivery and commanded a true three-pitch mix that kept hitters guessing throughout his outing. The FB sat 81-83 mph with noticeable arm-side sink, especially when located arm-side against RHHs. It drew a heavy whiff rate and consistently stayed off barrels. Gunn worked both sides of the plate effectively, mixing in a 68-72 mph CB with solid shape and a CH at 76 mph that he used to disrupt timing. He showed confidence in all three pitches and wasn’t afraid to throw any of them in any count. What stood out most was his ability to sequence and pitch with intent. He controlled tempo and never looked rushed, even when working out of the stretch. The ball comes out of a loose arm slot with a high-3/4 release, and while there’s still physical projection left, Gunn already flashes the feel and pitchability to be a real weapon right now for Patrick Henry. On the year, Gunn now owns a 2.45 ERA over 25.2 innings, striking out 35 along the way.
