Drafted in the 15th round (462nd overall) by the Oakland Athletics in 2014.
View Draft Report
A three-year starter at Arizona with a national championship ring, Gilbert stood out in a miserable season for the Wildcats, who were headed for a 10th-place league finish. Gilbert is either a below-average or fringy runner and defender, depending on the scout. He has sure hands but lacks range, and some scouts believe his fringy arm strength and modest double-play ability will push him to left field. His bat will get him drafted though, as he has a line-drive stroke and solid gap power to go with a good performance track record.
