Henderson State University Athletics

A two-time All-Gulf South Conference first baseman in 2008 and 2009, Robert Gilbert is Henderson State’s all-time leader in hits (194), RBIs (128) and doubles (52). He ranks third in program history in runs scored (122), total bases (273) and games played (185). A terrific hitter, Gilbert carried a career .336 batting average, hit .351 as a senior in 2010, and struck out just 38 times in 576 career at-bats. He never had a batting average under .318 for a season at HSU and racked up 21 doubles in 49 contests as a junior in 2009. During his last two years in Arkadelphia, Gilbert helped lead the two winningest teams in school history to that point — the 2009 group that finished with a still-standing school record of 34 wins and the 2010 squad which won 31 games. The Reddies were 65-34 in Gilbert’s junior and senior seasons.
