Bio
Though Gasper played just one Futures League season on his way from Bryant University to the New York Yankees organization, his 2016 accomplishments with the Nashua Silver Knights still remain prominently in the annals. Gasper’s .421 average and .532 on-base percentage were still the top single-season marks in Futures League history at the time of his induction, while his 21 doubles are still tied for the most in one summer. The Merrimack, N.H., native also slugged a league-leading .726 with 31 extra-base hits, 42 RBI and 119 total bases that season. The first-ever Silver Knight to win the league’s Most Valuable Player honor, Gasper went on to win Northeast Conference Player of the Year honors as a Bryant junior and then got drafted following another All-New England senior season. He became the first-ever Futures League alum to make his MLB debut for the Boston Red Sox in 2024 and is now a member of the Minnesota Twins organization.
