[edit] Biographical Information
Dillon Gee came to the majors at age 24.
Gee hit .317 as a junior. As a senior, he batted .443 and was 12-3 with a no-hitter. He won All-State honors. As a college freshman, he faced adversity with a 5-8, 5.58 record. He was 3-7 with a 4.34 ERA for the Brainerd Blue Thunder as a sophomore. Dillon was little better as a sophomore (6-9, Sv, 5.35). He was his team's top hurler at 4-8, 4.67 as a junior. The New York Mets took him in the 21st round of the 2007 amateur draft; the scout was Ray Corbett.
Gee debuted as a pro with the 2007 Brooklyn Cyclones with a 3-1, 2.47 record and 9 walks in 62 innings. He was 6th in the New York-Penn League. In 2008, he was 8-6 with a 3.25 ERA for the St. Lucie Mets, with 19 walks in 127 1/3 innings; he had a 2-0, 1.33 record for the Binghamton Mets. He had the lowest walk rate in the Florida State League and placed 5th in ERA, right behind Rey Gonzalez. He failed to make the FSL All-Star team as Dylan Owen, Rick Porcello, Graham Taylor and Gonzalez were chosen at pitcher instead.
In 2009, Dillon fell to 1-3, 4.10 for the Buffalo Bisons before an injury cut his season short. He was 13-8 with a 4.96 ERA for the 2010 Bisons with 165 whiffs in 161 1/3 innings. He was second in the International League in wins behind Richard De Los Santos and led in whiffs, 23 ahead of runner-up Todd Redmond. That earned him a September call-up despite his unimpressive ERA.
He won his major league debut with an excellent performance for the New York Mets on September 7, 2010, taking a no-hitter into the 6th inning and limiting the Washington Nationals to 2 hits over 7 innings to earn credit for a 4-1 win. Yuneski Maya, also making his major league debut, was his opponent on the mound.
