Uncommitted. Standing 5-foot-9, 165-pounds, round shoulders with an athletic build. The right-handed hitter starts with an open setup in the box, slowly bringing his front foot back to the plate with a controlled pace to remain on-time, hangs foot; his hands drop slightly at foot-plant, creating an uphill path with natural lift, sneaky pop - squaring up multiple balls throughout the course of two games. Gilroy showed the ability to track down fly-balls with ease; 6.98 60-runner, his speed easily translates to the outfield with good reads on balls and a quick first step, transitioning into athletic strides. His arm plays with some life out of the hand, placing strong throws to his targets in IO.
