Benji Gil Biography

Benji Gil is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on October 6, 1972 in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

Gil was a star pitcher for Castle Park High School in Chula Vista, California. In 1990, he went 6–3 with 89 strikeouts and a San Diego County leading 0.52 earned run average. As a senior in 1991, Gil pitched a no-hitter. Gil was also a good hitter, however, and when the Texas Rangers selected Gil nineteenth overall in the 1991 Major League Baseball draft, it was as a shortstop.

Gil displayed decent power, clubbing nine home runs for the South Atlantic League’s Gastonia Rangers in 1992. He made his major league debut in the 1993 season opener at twenty years old, going 0-for-3 with a walk in four plate appearances. By late May, however, he was back in the minors with the double A Tulsa Drillers after batting .123 with two runs batted in for the Rangers.

Gil spent his one season in the Chisox organization with the Pacific Coast League’s Calgary Cannons, where he batted .248 with fourteen home runs and 69 RBIs (a career high for Gil at any level).
