Biography

BIOGRAPHY

Gabe Klobosits was born May 16, 1995, in Katy, Texas. He is a pitcher in the MLB.

He was drafted by the Nationals in the 36th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft and chose to sign with the organization.

After signing, Klobosits began his professional career with the GCL Nationals. He was promoted to the Auburn Doubledays in July and then to the Hagerstown Suns in August. In 30.2 relief innings pitched between the three clubs, he was 1–0 with a 1.47 ERA and 1.01 WHIP.

With an imposing physical profile at 6 ft 7 in (2 m) and 270 pounds (120 kg), Klobosits was described in 2017 by Baseball America's Carlos Collazo as having "excellent plane" and a potent mid-90s fastball. He was one of several pitching prospects the Nationals brought up for a simulated game to prepare their major league hitters for the 2017 National League Division Series. Klobosits underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2018 after posting eleven appearances out of the bullpen for the Potomac Nationals.

A preseason prospect ranking by MLB Pipeline in 2018 listed Klobosits as the Nationals' eighteenth-best prospect, citing his "ability to dominate hitters with his blend of size, stuff and deception".

On July 30, 2021, Washington selected his contract and promoted him to the active roster. He made his MLB debut that night in relief.
