Drew Gilbert, the Giants' young outfielder, joined the Murph and Marcus Show to talk about his journey to the big leagues and what's driving his success this season. As a rookie, Gilbert has been making waves with his impressive stats, including a .795 OPS in August. But what's behind his newfound confidence and ability to hit the ball?
