Braves Minor League Recap: John Gil crushes Grand Slam Gil opened June with a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning

JUNE 3 • BATTERYPOWER.COM

Shining at High-A Gil went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs and a third run scored for High-A Rome on Sunday.

Impact The shortstop prospect will turn 20 years old Thursday, but Gil hasn't looked anything like an overmatched teenager in his first look at High-A pitching. Through 31 games this season, he's slashing .305/.403/.508 with six homers, 20 steals in 23 attempts, and an impressive 21:26 BB:K. Atlanta seems likely to challenge him with a promotion to Double-A fairly soon, and Gil should rocket up prospect lists this summer if he keeps flashing five-category upside.

Goes yard for second straight day Gil went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's split-squad game against the Twins.

Impact Getting the start at DH, Gil homered for the second straight day when he crushed a 94.5 mph fastball from Eric Orze over the left-field fence. Per Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the ball left Gil's bat at 109.7 mph. The 19-year-old shortstop's bat may be catching up to his glove and legs, a process that appeared to start last season when he slashed .328/.425/.568 over 31 games after the All-Star break for Single-A Augusta before a late cup of coffee with Double-A Columbus. Gil is showing early signs of a full breakout as a prospect in 2026.
