WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| Gonzalez threw 85-89 mph when he signed, with a curve and change. He had some projection and an ability to throw strikes.
2020 2021 Gonzalez pitched very well in his debut, with a good walk rate and opponents’ OPS of .608. 2022 The Pirates sent Gonzalez back to the DSL and he wasn’t quite as successful as the previous year, mainly because his control dropped off a lot. Opponents batted only .173 against him, with little power, and he missed a lot more bats. He missed the first seven weeks of the season due to injury. Gonzalez has pitched well so far, so he should be in the FCL in 2023. |
