PBR Georgia Adds Jacob Gill as Director of Baseball Operations

PBR Georgia State Director Blake Davis is thrilled to welcome aboard Jacob Gill as Director of Baseball Operations for the state. Gill's duties will include assisting in outreach to prospects and coaches, event planning and scouting.

 

Gill joins PBR Georgia following five years in various roles with PBR Pennsylvania, most recently as Assistant Director of Scouting for the state.

 

Prior to PBR Pennsylvania, Gill coached at the collegiate level for seven years. For the 2009-12 seasons, he served as the Recruiting Coordinator at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. Gill mentored a number of Atlantic-10 Conference all-conference performers during his four years, while the 2012 team tied the program's single-season record for wins at the time and reached the Atlantic-10 tournament for the first time in school history.

 

Gill spent the 2006-08 campaigns at the University of Evansville in Evansville, IN. The 2006 squad won the school's first-ever regular-season and Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships, while Gill worked with the infield defense that heavily contributed to UE finishing with the twelfth best team fielding percentage (.975) in NCAA Division I.

 

Prior to entering collegiate coaching, Gill worked as an Associate Scout for the Kansas City Royals (2005) and a Baseball Operations Intern for the Cleveland Indians (2003). He also coached a Babe Ruth League team in Chicago for four summers (2001-02, 2004-05) and guided the league all-star team to a seventh-place finish at the 2002 Babe Ruth World Series.

 

In college, Gill served as a student manager at Stanford University, where he caught bullpens for seven future big leaguers and the team made three College World Series appearances.
