Professional career

Gillaspie was not drafted out of Oxnard College in 2017 and joined the Monterey Amberjacks in the Pecos League, and from there was moved up to the Salina Stockade in the American Association of Professional Baseball.

He was released by the Brewers following the end of the season, and did not play a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Gillaspie was signed by the Baltimore Orioles for the 2021 season, and split the year between the Aberdeen IronBirds of the High-A East and the Bowie Baysox of the Double-A Northeast, going 1-3 with a 4.97 ERA over 26 relief appearances, striking out 52 batters over 41+2⁄3 innings.[7] He was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Mesa Solar Sox after the season.[8]
