WTM’s PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES

The Pirates signed Gonzalez in 2016.  He wasn’t a prominent signee, but he was on the GCL roster to start the 2017 season.  He was injured throughout the 2017-18 seasons, but made it to the DSL in 2019.

2019
DSL:  2-0-4, 5.22 ERA, 1.94 WHIP, 29.1 IP, 9.5 BB/9, 12.6 K/9

Gonzalez pitched in relief and missed a lot of bats while allowing only a .243 average and little power.  Walks, however, were obviously a major problem.

Gonzalez should be in the US in 2020, possibly at Bristol considering that he’ll play the season at age 21.
