13th Pick - RHP - Robert Gsellman

A member of Westchester's perennial powerhouse basketball team, the tall and lanky Gsellman has been by far the biggest "find" of the 2011 season in Southern California. His easy throwing motion permits him to touch 88-89 off of the mound. Gsellman is a newcomer to third base. He flashes intriguing fielding skills but could easily transfer to rightfield if needed. Scouts are excited about the power potential in Gsellman's bat. He utilizes a sweeping cut which often produces long, towering home runs. -  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/b 
Baseball might still be a couple of weeks away for the 6-foot-6 senior who is not only one of the Comets' top shooters, he's been known to mix it up underneath as well. While Westchester doesn't reveal its basketball statistics, the numbers for Gsellman are startling in baseball.  He hit .649 with eight home runs and 38 RBIs for the Comets as a junior. He had a 1.230 slugging percentage and struck out only four times in 81 at-bats.  On the mound, he was 5-1 with a 1.67 ERA and struck out 44 batters in 46 innings.  - http://robocaster.com/dailybreeze/podcast-episode-home/ci_17545502/westchesters-gsellman-a-man-for-all-seasons.aspx
