Biography:
As a true freshman in 2010, Gebler made the transition from starting pitcher to closer and became the most dependable arm out of the bullpen for Rutgers University. Entering the Big East Baseball Championship, Gebler led his staff in appearances with 25 and in saves with 11. In Big East regular season conference play, his six saves were third most while his 14 appearances were tied for third most.
Overall, Gebler was 1-2 with 11 saves and a 1.99 ERA heading into the conference tournament. In 31 2/3 innings he allowed only 29 hits and held opponents to a .248 average. Gebler’s opponents’ batting average was more than 60 points lower than the team’s collective opponents’ batting average (.313).
Before attending Rutgers, Gebler was a starting pitcher in high school and Rutgers and the SteepleCats might look to see him return him to a starting role this summer. Gebler was a two-sport athlete at Toms River South High School. In baseball, he went 9-3 on the mound with a 1.40 ERA and 72 strikeouts as a senior. That year he was named to all-state third team by the Star Ledger. Gebler went 9-2 as a junior with a 1.46 ERA and 83 strikeouts. That season he was named Shore Conference Player of the Year and to the all-state second team. Gebler also played high school basketball and scored more than 1,200 career points.
