Gleason was slated to join the North Shore roster in each of the past two summers before suffering injuries, but he is set to take the Fraser Field mound following a junior year at Stonehill in which he pitched to a 1-0 record and 4.61 ERA with 30 strikeouts in 27.1 innings. He has started six games during each of his first three seasons as a Skyhawk, finishing 2024 with a Division 1 career-high seven strikeouts in a six-inning outing on May 14 at Bryant.

Though the right-hander now calls Gadsden, Ala, home, he attended Timberlane Regional High School in Plaistow, N.H., earning three varsity letters in baseball, football and basketball.
