Gibson is regarded as a projector scout,which envisions what a player will be able to do in a two- or three-year term. Despite the fact that Gibson had a successful pitching career,he has been able to analyze players' ability regardless their position. Gibson's style of scouting also looks for particular traits in a player's personality and character to ensure that they can handle pressure and be team leaders.
Beginning in 2006,Gibson served as an area scout supervisor for the Atlanta Braves. [2] During his tenure with the Braves,he was in charge of all scouting aspects of amateur players in the Northeast.
In 2008,the Seattle Mariners' Director of Amateur Scouting,Tom McNamara,named Gibson as the Eastern Cross-Checker Scout for the organization. [3] Gibson was part of a bigger plan in which he was expected to work closely with the Mariners baseball operations department and scouting staff in evaluating talent for the amateur draft.
In 2010,Gibson joined the Kansas City Royals scouting office as the National Scouting Supervisor.
Under Gibson’s supervision,the Royals signed Bubba Starling,Kyle Zimmer,Cameron Gallagher,and Alfredo Escalera–Maldonado,at 17,the youngest player ever drafted by any MLB organization since the insertion of the First-Year Player Draft.
In 1995,Gibson opened a baseball training facility in Bellport,New York,with the intention to provide proper baseball instruction to young kids in the community in which he grew up. A year later,Gibson inaugurated a 10,000 square foot indoor facility that housed batting cages and small lesson areas for local instructors during the winter.

Gibson's 1989 Score baseball card initially featured an "error" and was reprinted in a "corrected" form. On the card,Gibson is showing preparing to deliver the pitch as an infielder stands by second base. The first version shows the infielder grabbing his crotch. After the oddity was noticed by collectors,the card became briefly popular,especially after Score reissued the card with the infielder's arm airbrushed out. [4]
