A seasoned member of the Rutgers University pitching staff, Tyler Gebler returns to North Adams for a second stint after spending the summer of 2010 in the Berkshires bringing a versatile arm to the disposal of Coach Adamski. A former closer-turned-starter, Gebler blossomed as a sophomore and is a member of the Scarlet Knights’ starting rotation as a junior.

In the NECBL in 2010, Gebler posted strong numbers, going 5-2 on the season in eight starts. The right-hander tossed 51 innings and scattered 45 hits while yielding only 12 earned runs thanks to 47 strikeouts – a team high – and nine walks. He then took his talents to the Cape Cod Baseball League last summer, serving as a reliable option out of the bullpen.

This season, his success has continued with a Rutgers team that qualified for the BIG EAST tournament. He finished with three wins and a 4.54 ERA while totaling 83 1/3 innings, during which he struck out 51 and walked only 17.

The son of Kurt and Barbara, Tyler was born October 21, 1990.
