Gessner

+ This is our staff’s first look at INF/OF Israel Gessner (Brookfield East, 2026) in a showcase setting. Gessner showed a quick swing with fast hands with some feel for the barrel. He was able to drive the ball where it was pitched to all fields while showing solid balance through the swing. On defense, the utility player showcased athletic movements and actions when working through the baseball towards the target in both infield and outfield work. Our staff will monitor his development going forward.
