Physical: 5-foot-9, 150 pounds; Slender, Wiry build. 7.03 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet shoulder width apart; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Loads straight back along with a slight leg-kick for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a downward swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 89 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with a compact setup; utilizing a traditional primary position while staying in an elevated position. Hands are out in front while standing up during transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. 2.07-2.11 pop times. C - 75 MPH.
Pitching: Gilbert uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with shoulders outside the hips. Has along stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load, while standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 80 MPH, while sitting 76-78 MPH.CB: 64-66 MPH. CH: 63-65 MPH.OTHER: KN 73 MPH.
Physical: 5-foot-9, 140LBS. Lean, athletic build. 7.26SEC 60-Yard Dash.
Offensively: RHH. Has weight on rear leg during the set up tilting slightly back. Narrow feet that are shoulder width apart and hands above shoulder, next to ear. There is early connection in the load and sets up a level bat path through the hitting zone. Simple up and down stride. High finish.
Defensively: Behind the plate is somewhat narrow in the secondary. Transfer at midline slightly below chest. Lets ball travel and has limited pre-catch movement. Base widens out when anticipating a ball in the dirt. At SS maintains a low chest angle and smothers ball with top hand as ground ball comes in. Low 3/4 arm slot.
