The Phillies have signed 28 year old RHP Gabe Mosser to a 2025 minor league contract. The 6’4” hurler was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 27th round of the 2018 draft from Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, PA. He has spent his entire professional career in the Padres organization and appeared in 28 games (26 starts) last season at AAA level El Paso where he went 7-7 with a 5.40 ERA in 133.1 IP posting 103 strikeouts and 48 walks. In his career he’s appeared in 112 games (76 starts) and has a 4.45 ERA in 440.2 IP. He has yet to pitch in the major leagues.
Mosser was born in Allentown, PA and attended Parkland High School where he earned all-state honors his senior year. He pitched four collegiate seasons at Shippensburg.
This past season he changed his arm slot to a 3/4 delivery which he credits with improving his pitch shapes and command, he also moved to the third base side of the rubber, those subtle changes allowed him to establish a new career high for the most innings pitched in a season. His sinker will generally sit in the low nineties and he also throws a slider, curve and splitter. He’s known for a cool demeanor on the mound and as being a strike thrower who won’t beat himself, control of his pitches along with command. He’s gives the Phillies another option for starting depth at the AAA level and also gets the added bonus of playing where he grew up in the Lehigh Valley!
