Cole B. Gillespie (born June 20, 1984) is an American professional baseball outfielder in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. He is from Portland, Oregon.
Gillespie was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 3rd round of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft out of Oregon State University where he helped lead the Beavers to the 2006 Division I National Championship over the North Carolina Tarheels and he was named the Pac 10 Conference Player of the Year. After going pro in 2006, Gillespie played for their Rookie league Helena Brewers. He was promoted to the Class A-Advanced Brevard County Manatees in 2007. Gillespie spent the entire 2008 season with the Double-A Huntsville Stars. In 2009, he was promoted to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds.
In late July 2009, he was traded to the Diamondbacks with Roque Mercedes for Felipe López and assigned to Triple-A Reno. Following the season, he was added to the 40 man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, and made his major league debut in a pinch hitting opportunity on April 21, hitting a double and later scoring a run.
