Gilbert is a deception lefty who has good size, at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. He works out a high ¾ slot with his fastball, which tops out at 81 mph, and he hides the ball well. He almost turns his back to the plate with his delivery, which makes it a tough look on batters. Gilbert repeats his delivery and appears to be a strike-thrower, as he is under control and is not afraid of contact. His curveball has shape and lands it at 67-68 mph. Gilbert has a quality look to his changeup, but will occasionally drop his slot and tip hitters. Right now, he’s a strike-throwing finesse type pitcher at the next level.
