Track Record: Gil signed out of the Dominican Republic in a Braves 2023 class that was headlined by Luis Guanipa. Two years later, he ranks as the top international hitter in Atlanta’s system. He played in the Dominican Summer League in 2023, then in 2024 moved stateside, where he played shortstop everyday, hit well in the Florida Complex League and drew near-universal positive reviews from scouts.
Scouting Report: Gil is a lean righthander with a 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame that still has room to fill out and employs an easy, low-maintenance swing. He has a solid understanding of the zone and will take a walk. He’s currently a contact hitter who won’t miss a fastball, but he has been exploited by spin and off-speed offerings and will need to grow into more impact. His strikeout rate jumped from 16.1% to 23.3% with Low-A Augusta. Despite that, he has earned above-average hit tool projections. Gil is a double-plus runner who gets out of the box quickly, went 40-for-48 (83.3%) on the bases and has great range at shortstop. He’s an instinctual defender with above-average hands and average arm strength, but could provide utility value in the future, as well, at second base, third base or in the outfield.
The Future: Gil has a better reputation from scouts than his .688 OPS in 2024 might indicate. He should return to Low-A Augusta in 2025 where he’ll need to make adjustments vs. non-fastballs and show he has more than just utility value.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 70 | Field: 50 | Arm: 50.
