"Gil ended up playing 107 games, with 100 coming in Augusta. With Augusta he hit .258/.352/.378 with 25 doubles, a triple, seven homers, 50 steals, and 57 walks to 64 strikeouts over 462 plate appearances. He also got one game in the FCL after a minor injury cost him a short time, but at the end of the season he got skipped over Rome and up to Double-A Columbus to close out the year."
"What were the expectations? Gil had a strong year in the DSL in 2023 after signing, posting a .795 OPS. He followed that up in 2024 by impressing in the FCL last year and actually reaching Augusta in his age-18 season. He put up a .791 OPS in the FCL, but predictably struggled in full season ball with a .553 OPS as he was a little overmatched in terms of strength- though he still had a .297 on base percentage there."
John Gil signed for $110k out of the Dominican and posted a .795 OPS in the DSL in 2023. He put up a .791 OPS in the FCL in 2024 and reached Augusta as an 18‑year‑old, but struggled in full‑season ball with a .553 OPS and a .297 OBP. He played 107 games (100 in Augusta) and hit .258/.352/.378 with 25 doubles, a triple, seven homers, 50 steals, 57 walks and 64 strikeouts in 462 plate appearances. After a brief FCL appearance following an injury, he was promoted to Double‑A Columbus for six games (4‑23, two walks, four steals). He demonstrated consistent contact, on‑base skill, strong baserunning, and signs of growing power late in the season.
