Bio: John Gilreath

John Gilreath joins the Diamond Prospects team as an area scout and social media coordinator, bringing a wealth of experience as both a player and a champion for high school athletes looking to reach the next level. A Rock Hill, SC, native, John’s baseball career began at Northwestern High School, where he helped lead the Trojans to their first-ever baseball state championship. As a junior, his dominant performances earned him South Carolina 5A Player of the Year honors and solidified his place among the state’s best. A frequent attendee of Diamond Prospects events during his high school career, John utilized the platform to gain exposure and advance his baseball journey. His success as a prep standout led to early enrollment at the University of South Carolina, where he became one of the team’s most reliable arms over his four seasons. During his stint at USC, John earned his place in the program’s history, ranking in the top 10 for all-time appearances while competing in the prestigious SEC. Since 2022, he has continued his career in professional baseball, pitching in the MLB Draft League. Now, as a scout, John is eager to give back to the game by helping young players showcase their talent and navigate the recruiting process. His deep understanding of the game, both on and off the field, makes him an invaluable asset to the Diamond Prospects team.
