DrB's 2026 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #13 Drew Gilbert

13.  Drew Gilbert OF.  DOB:  9/27/2000.  B- L, T- L.  5' 9", 195 lbs.  40-man Roster, 3 Options.

2025(AAA- Mets):  .243/.347/.430, 17 2B, 2 3B, 12 HR, 4 SB, 11.4 BB%, 16.6 K%, 361 PA.
2025(AAA- Giants):  .500/.650/.857, 2B, 2 3B, 2 SB, 30.0 BB%, 15.0 K%, 20 PA.
2025(MLB- Giants):  .190/.248/.350, 5 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 6.4 BB%, 18.3 K%, 109 PA.

Drew Gilbert is a classic old-school high-energy, top-of-the-order, hustling over-achiever type player who often has nicknames like Nails, Mad Dog, Scrappy.  Howard Cosell would call him a "pepper pot."  Former #28 overall draft pick out of Tony Vitello's shop at Tennessee.  Although the BA was unimpressive in his first, the secondary numbers were actually quite good and he was a plus defender who appeared at all 3 OF positions, mostly RF.  Strong opportunity to emerge from spring training as the 4'th OF on the Opening Day roster unless the Giants think he still needs daily PA's to further develop his hitting.
