This is an accepted version of this page Dillon Kyle Gee (born April 28, 1986) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.
He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers and Minnesota Twins.
He ranks second on the school's career list with 298.1 innings pitched and was a two-time honorable mention All-Southland Conference recipient (2005 and 2006).
[4][6] In 2009, Gee started the season with the Class-AAA Buffalo Bisons of the International League, yet was shut down May 25 due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
[8] Nonetheless, Gee made his major league debut with the Mets on September 7,[9] marking the first time in Mets history that two starting pitchers made their major league debuts in the same game, as Gee faced rookie Yunesky Maya of the Washington Nationals.
He pitched brilliantly in his debut, taking a no-hit bid into the sixth inning when Willie Harris broke it up with a lead off home run.
[12] Gee then went on to win consecutive games against the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres; in the latter, he posted a career-high nine strikeouts over seven innings.
On May 30, 2013, Gee recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts in a game which led to the Mets sweeping the Subway Series against the New York Yankees for the first time ever.
On June 17, 2013, Gee hurled 8+1⁄3 shutout innings against the Atlanta Braves before allowing a 2-run walk-off home run to Freddie Freeman.
After a horrible start to the season, Gee bounced back to become the team's second-best starter, behind Matt Harvey.
[18] After six weeks on the disabled list, Gee made his first start on July 9, against the Atlanta Braves at home, going seven innings and giving up one run on six hits to earn the win.
[19] During spring training, Gee was preparing to accept a role in the Mets' bullpen when it was announced that starting pitcher Zack Wheeler would miss the entire 2015 season due to injury.
On May 8, Gee was placed on the disabled list with a groin strain and was replaced in the rotation by top prospect Noah Syndergaard.
[21] He was eventually returned to the active roster on June 3, at which point the Mets announced plans to use a six-man starting rotation.
