Nationals To Designate Gabe Klobosits For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | April 6, 2022 at 8:37pm CDT

The Nationals are designating reliever Gabe Klobosits for assignment, reports Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post (on Twitter). The move clears a space on Washington’s 40-man roster, which now sits at 39.

Klobosits made his first 11 MLB appearances last season. The 6’8″ righty averaged nearly 95 MPH on his fastball but didn’t get great results, allowing eight runs in 11 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and walks apiece. The Auburn product had a very nice season in the high minors, combining for a 1.64 ERA with a solid 28.9% strikeout percentage and 8.8% walk rate between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester.

The 26-year-old paired his fastball with a split and a slider during his limited big league time. He didn’t miss many bats in the majors but had a fair bit of success during his preceding minor league run. Washington will have a week to trade Klobosits or place him on waivers. If another team put in a claim, they’d be able to option him to the minor leagues in each of the next two seasons.

    In a dumpster fire of a year for the Nats, he ate some innings.

    Weird to dump a live arm just to clear a space…are they up to something?

      No. They’re not up to something. They stink. Their big acquisition this off-season was Nelson Cruz. He was also their only acquisition this offseason. The only reason I’m going to opening day is to join others in a standing O for Max.

        You’ll have a long wait. He isn’t supposed to pitch until Friday night.

    “Hey, you have any Klobosits leftover? I’m starving.”

    “Hey, you heard he came down with Klobosits last week, man? How terrible!”

    “Dude, bought a pair of Klobosits…love ‘em.”

    “Hey, you see the Cleveland Klobosits lost again! Oooof, signing Ramirez to an extension didn’t do a thing for them.”
