Every pitcher at Tulane seems to need surgery, so he should fit right in.

Everone that came from Barbe did that's for sure.

Thats what gets me, how do you let your kid throw 16 innings in a game, and 38 innings in a week long tournament?

bc his Jesuit accomplishments might mean more than anything he ever does at Tulane

My brother plays centerfield for that team and right for the state championship squad. Gibbs is the type of pitcher that can throw forever, great mechanics, not alot of tourque and is not a power arm type. Latino did not throw a kid like Keller nearly as much due to the type of pitcher he is. I would not have believed this if I had not seen this develop myself and just looked at the stats. American Legion has a pitch count so it was over a larger period of time then most think. Congrats to those kids and let it be known that roster is full of Tiger fans for what it's worth.

One thing in his favor is he has excellent mechanics and is not a real hard thrower. He does a good job of using his entire body and has great control...but he has thrown a ton of innings the last 2 years. We'll see how he holds up, I'm hoping it's no issue. His older brother had a rubber arm also.

I was getting ready to post this. Gibbs is a lot like Greg Maddux in the sense that he'll be able to pitch forever. He doesn't really stress his body very much per pitch.

Good to hear. I hope he does well in the future.

Well said, I was just going to compare his style to Maddux.
