Tennessee’s spark-plug CF, Drew Gilbert, was selected by the Houston Astros with the 28th pick in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
Gilbert started to pop, literally and figuratively, in his sophomore season with the Vols when he slashed .274/.341/.437 with 10 home runs and 62 RBIs. He also showed a propensity to show up in big moments — this was Gilbert’s walk-off grand slam against Wright State in the opening round of the 2021 NCAA Baseball tournament.
DREW.
GILBERT.
WALK.
OFF.
GRAND.
