19-Year-Old ShortstopSS

2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gil, signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2023, slashed .308/.395/.514 with six home runs, 16 steals, a 12 percent walk rate and a 19.2 percent strikeout rate in 36 games across Single-A and Double-A after getting activated from the 7-day injured list July 26. Something seemingly clicked for Gil after he returned from injury, as he slashed .225/.321/.290 in 70 games for the GreenJackets from April 4 through July 10. Coming into 2025, Gil was known as an athletic defensive shortstop prospect with plus-plus speed and questionable offensive potential. He stole 54 bases in 107 games and his late-season surge suggests Gil has more offensive upside than his season stats or scouting reports indicate. He only needs to provide double-digit homer power to profile as any everyday shortstop down the road. Gil should head to High-A and doesn't turn 20 until May. Read Past Outlooks

Goes yard for second straight day
SSAtlanta Braves  AA
March 3, 2026
Gil went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's split-squad game against the Twins.
Analysis
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.
