This story was updated with Aug. 8 game details.

Drew Gilbert has been called up by the San Francisco Giants, the latest Tennessee baseball product to reach the major leagues.

The outfielder hit .500 with a double and two triples in five games with Triple-A Sacramento before being promoted on Aug. 8 by the Giants, who acquired him from the New York Mets in a July 30 trade deadline deal.

Gilbert debuted Aug. 8 against the Washington Nationals, hitting ninth in the Giants’ 5-0 win. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

Gilbert was selected No. 28 overall in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros. He was traded to the Mets at the 2023 deadline in a deal for pitcher Justin Verlander, who now is with the Giants. The Mets traded Gilbert and former Vols pitcher Blade Tidwell as part of a package to get pitcher Tyler Rogers from the Giants.

Gilbert is the 10th Vols player from the Tony Vitello era to reach the majors, and the eighth from Tennessee’s 2022 team.

He has hit .262 with 44 homers and 153 RBIs in 281 games in his minor-league career, which has been hampered by a pair of injuries.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Gilbert hit .314 with 22 homers and 140 RBIs in 141 career games at Tennessee.

The Stillwater, Minnesota, native was a consistent performer for the Vols in 2022 and garnered multiple All-America honors, hitting a team-best .362 with 11 homers and 70 RBIs, 33 walks to 32 strikeouts, and posted a .455 on-base percentage.

He was a three-year starter who earned first-team All-SEC honors and SEC All-Defensive team honors in 2022. He also was named the SEC Tournament MVP.

Gilbert was committed to Oregon State as a high school prospect before signing with Tennessee in 2019.
