Baseball career

Gillaspie played in the Cape Cod Baseball League during the summer of 2007, leading the entire league in hitting with a .345 batting average. He led the Falmouth Commodores to the championship series against the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, but could not play in the series as he had to return to school. He was named the MVP of the Cape League.

Gillaspie was drafted by the San Francisco Giants 37th overall in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft out of Wichita State University. He played only 24 games in the minors before being called up to the majors on September 6, 2008. He got his first major league hit off Dan Haren on September 16, 2008.

On June 5, 2011, Gillaspie was recalled to the major leagues when Brandon Belt was placed on the 15-day disabled list.^[1]

On Tuesday September 27, 2011, Gillaspie hit an inside the park home run against Rockies pitcher Esmil Rogers
