YORK COUNTY— Trey Gibson, a Yorktown native and player for the Norfolk Tides, has answered the Major League Baseball call and joins the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday against the New York Yankees.
Gibson, a Grafton High School graduate, is currently ranked the No. 3 prospect in the Baltimore Orioles organization and was named the organization’s Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2025. Gibson had a 4.66 ERA in 9 2/3 innings during three spring training appearances with the Orioles this year, then was 2-2 with a 4.01 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Norfolk, striking out 25 and walking 12 in 24 2/3 innings.
Scheduled to start in Norfolk on Sunday, Gibson quickly made the trip to New York to join the team ahead of Sunday’s game.
According to an interview with Orioles manager Craig Albernaz, the O’s are hoping that Gibson will go out on the field at Yankee Stadium and just have fun.
“The biggest thing with Trey is we just want him to be Trey,” Albernaz said. “It’s going to be a fun day for him, and I just want to tell him when I see him to embrace the moment, have some fun with it. He put a lot of work in throughout his whole life to get to this point, and he has great stuff. I want him to trust his stuff.”
Gibson’s debut will take place at 1:35 p.m.
