Dylan Gilbert '16 Recruiting Profile

I love the game of baseball more than anything. My dream is to play college baseball and then develop into a player who can compete at the highest professional level. I am an extremely hard worker and always feel like I can get better, whether it is physically or mentally. I am very competitive and truly want to win as many games and championships as possible. I make everyone around me better and will never set a limit for success. I make winning plays and greatly impact each game in a positive way.

I am a 6 foot, 210-pound centerfielder, who possesses all five tools. I graduated from St. Ignatius College Prep (Chicago, IL) in 2016 where I also played varsity hockey and football (quarterback) since my freshman year. In high school, I was a three-time team MVP, three-time all-conference selection in the Chicago Catholic League White division, named to Class 3A Illinois All-State Team my senior year, and won Player of the Year in the Chicago Catholic League White division.  I am currently attending Heartland Community College (Normal, IL) and am open to transferring to any school. I earned a 3.75 GPA at Heartland for the Fall semester in addition to my dual credits I took in high school at the City Colleges of Chicago, where I took 21 credits and earned a 4.0. The major I will be pursuing is exercise science.
