Cade GilbertRinggold High School's Cade Gilbert has committed to play baseball at East Tennessee State University, Tigers head coach Brent Tucker said Wednesday.
Gilbert, a 6-foot, 170-pound class of 2016 shortstop, was a key contributor to Ringgold's run to this year's Region 6-AAA championship in his first season as a starter.
"Cade has tremendous athletic ability on the field," Tucker said. "He has a feel for the game that you don't coach. Cade is one of these guys that his uniform is always dirty after a game, and as a coach you know he will always give his best effort. As he continues to mature and get stronger, his game will continue to rise."
