Following his high school career, Gold committed to Boston College where he was recognized with 2nd team All ACC honors this past spring. As a regular starter for the BC Eagles, Gold posted a .308 batting average with nine home runs, 38 runs scored and a team-leading 20 multi-hit games. After spending three seasons at Boston College, Gold plans to join the Tigers’ organization later this summer.
