Aidan Gilbert gives Holy Cross a steady, high-leverage arm in the 2026 title run
In the 2026 season, sophomore right-hander Aidan Gilbert emerged as a useful bullpen weapon for Holy Cross, including scoreless relief in the Patriot League championship game and a win at Army. He’s shown strike-throwing poise, can work multiple innings, and has been trusted in meaningful spots for a conference champion — a good sign if you want a composed, adaptable arm rather than pure radar-gun hype. The downside: his 2026 results were uneven at times, so the fit is strongest for a team valuing competitiveness and flexibility.
