Prospect Watch: Cole Gillespie

Cole Gillespie, a 23 year-old outfielder for Double-A Huntsville was the Brewers' third round pick in the 2006 draft. The former Oregon State Beaver is doing well for Huntsville this season. Gillespie has hit 6 home runs and driven in 27 runs. He's batting .273 with a .359 on base percentage.

Gillespie seems to be hitting for more power than last season. He already has 6 homers. Last year at High-A Brevard County, Gillespie hit 12 the entire season. Huntsville is currently 26-11 on the season and Gillespie is a big reason why. With a lineup consisting of Gillespie, Matt Laporta, Angel Salome, and Mat Gamel, Huntsville should continue to see a lot of success.
