Derek Gaskill
To begin my playing career, I was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1992 just out of high school and played with them until 1995. I was the Organizational Pitcher of the year with them in ’95 and in Major League spring training with them in ‘94 and ’95.
In 1996 I was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays and pitched in the Major League spring training with them. That same year in Toronto and later in the year pitched at The Skydome against the Texas Rangers.
In 1997 I signed with the New York Mets and pitched in the Major League spring training with them in '98 and '99. I pitched at the Shea Stadium for the Mets in '98.
I pitched in an exhibition game against the Tides at Harbor Park for the Major League team in '98.
Continued to play with the New York Mets Organization through to the year 2000.
Following the New York Mets from 2001-2005 played in various Double A, and Triple A type leagues.
2006 played with a USA team where we traveled to Nicaragua to play their National Team in a three game series.
From there, after 14 years, I decided to retire and start a new chapter of my life. This included continuing the instruction of ball players in a wide range of age groups. All combined, including clinics and teams, I have taught to thousands. This includes personal instruction to over 500 individuals.
Additional Information:
I played with current and future Hall of Famers such as Rickey Henderson, Orel Hershiser, Mike Piazza, Roy Halladay and pitched against future Hall of Famer’s such as Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Vladimer Guerrero.
