It was a frustrating season for Gsellman across the board, as he began working out of the bullpen only to be shifted to the starting rotation after one appearance and was then moved back to the bullpen after four starts in which he was never fully stretched out. He threw a season-high 74 pitches in his final outing in long relief Sept. 8 before exiting with a broken rib. The right-hander didn't have success in any role with a 9.64 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and measly 12.7% strikeout rate. His fastball was two ticks slower at 93.6 mph compared to 2019, and his walk rate also jumped three percentage points to 11.3%. He seems likely to work out of the bullpen again next season, though the new Mets ownership and front office could have different plans. Gsellman did have 13 saves, 16 holds and a 3.89 FIP in 2018, but he's regressed the past two seasons and enters 2021 without a defined role on the club.
