Consistent is a good word for Gonzales when it comes to what kinda player he is, he’s hit above .300 in each of his three seasons at NMSU and even tore up greater competition in the Cape Cod League last summer. He goes to his left better than his right. I understand the strategy, but both Yorke and Jordan come with defensive question marks and are three-plus years away. Interestingly the picks of Kjerstad and Fulton were tabbed for both the best and worst picks by the staff. He’s into the high-90’s with a plus changeup, a late first round talent. Maybe this has something to do with keeping Bart fresh or his injuries with the universal DH coming, but it didn’t feel like the best use of the pick to me.” -Matt Powers, “Too much talent on the board to pass on at 13 with Joey Bart already in your system to take a C here.” -Michael Marino, 5 Picks (Tom Mussa, Jason Kamlowski, Matt Thompson, Tyler Jennings and Ralph Lifshitz), “Carter might eventually be a nice player but the Rangers really reached here. And in the Cape, he did nothing but rake.

Nick Gonzales Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics | MLB.com Only 7 picks in total received votes, compared to 18 receiving votes for best picks. But then, the Padres popped him at 80, which they wouldn’t do unless they were confident they’d get a deal done.” -Anthony Franco, “Ranked 23rd in the Top 200 Draft Prospects, many, myself included, were left baffled over Wilcox slipping to No.

He controls the barrel and consistently puts the bat on the ball with just 16 strikeouts in 34 Cape Cod League games. Already projects solid average hit and power tools. He showed soft hands and smooth actions during pregame, but fair instincts on the dirt during game action.

Fulton’s FB characteristics make me think it’s unlikely he ever develops a truly dominant FB, as the pitch will probably operate best at maturity as a sinker (very high release point, very low spin, low spin efficiency, very low velocity). Already sitting low 90s with his frame, an increase to his velo is forthcoming.

A switch-hitting third baseman, there's more bat speed from the left side. The very first thing that jumps out at me is man can this guy just absolutely rake. Given the recent rule change, perhaps the Giants plan to eventually use Bailey, who is the better defensive backstop, behind the plate and use Bart's bat in the DH-slot. Gonzales is arguably the top pure hitter in college baseball for the 2020 draft and profiles to be an offensive second baseman at the pro level.

He added 16 home runs and 80 RBIs in 220 at-bats. He’s got above-average raw power, plus bat control, and a strong approach, manifesting in a .410/.503/.619 line in the SEC as a sophomore in 2019.

Santos works solely out of the stretch and shows loose arm action from a high ¾ arm slot.

His pure hit tool is advanced, he’s a ridiculous athlete, and his ability to track baseballs down in center field is impressive.

Prospects Live Staff. For a team that lacks right-handed pitching depth in the minors.” -Matt Thompson, “The Mets go for upside with Orze, who missed most of 2018-19 recovering from testicular cancer and melanoma but looked filthy this spring.

At 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, he's a good athlete (34" vertical jump, 10' broad jump) with a high-extension delivery who should add serious muscle now that his health issues are behind him.” -Jacob Zweiback, “You could make a serious argument that Mitchell is a top-seven player in this class from a tools and talent standpoint. He’s a name everybody knows thanks to his viral YouTube videos but there’s not much else to his game that I love. Also, as a big Wilcox fan, seemed he was in for a nice 2020.” -Michael Marino, “Wilcox is my favorite pick not because he is a first round talent but because of what he represents for San Diego. Orze struck out 29 in 19.2 innings (2.75 ERA) with a 92-96 mph fastball, decent slider, and wipeout splitter that already has MLB-caliber movement. The D-backs seem confident they can pull off the signing and would be rounding out another deep class on high end talent.” -Alex Jensen, “Maybe not the most surprising pick on a micro level, but Baltimore’s decision to go underslot in the second tier of college prospects by selecting Kjerstad set the tone for how different this draft was going to be.” -Will Hoefer, “I'm not high on taking a second baseman in the early-to-mid first round.
I like how the Rays are fighting against the stigma of smaller pitchers, and think Seymour’s Hader-esque FB characteristics gives him a ridiculously high floor as a dominant reliever.” -Eccentric Laddie, 3 Picks (Will Hoefer, Will Scharnagl, Sam), “ I think he’s much more of a sure thing than people think, and Tampa is a great place for his mechanics.” -Sam McWhorter, “I’m not necessarily the biggest Nick Bitsko fan, but I absolutely love the value at pick 24 and the fit with the Rays. With a huge 2020 spring season (.448/.610/1.155 with 12 HRs, 36 RBI in 82 plate appearances), Gonzales solidified his status as a likely top ten overall selection. Some talent evaluators didn’t even rank him among their top-250. New Mexico State shared a … It was a great event where 30 team-specific content creators acted as GMs for their teams for a three round mock draft.
Gonzales is arguably the top pure hitter, along with Austin Martin, in college baseball and profiles to be an offensive second baseman at the pro level. Your favorite teams, topics, and players all on your favorite mobile devices. A couple of names appeared both on favorites and least favorites and the Tigers were heavily represented with 3 of their picks selected as favorites.

Though the extra money did help them net Coby Mayo and that's good.” -Trevor Hooth, “To be clear, I think the Orioles had a very good overall draft, but from what it COULD have been, it's a C+ compared to the A+ that it easily could have been with so many other directions. All rights reserved. 12 picks in total received votes, including Heston Kjerstad yet again, who received votes for best pick, worst pick and most surprising pick. While the hit tool concerns are warranted, I’d imagine the Phillies are thrilled with the value” -Will Sharnagl, Tagged: Cole Wilcox, Ian Seymour, Nick Bitsko, Colt Keith, Tyler Soderstrom, Clayton Beeter, Ben Hernandez, Landon Knack, Austin Martin, Heston Kjerstad, Dax Fulton, Jared Kelley, Alex Santos, Dillon Dingler, Gage Workman, Markevian Hence, Eric Orze, Garrett Mitchell, Patrick Bailey, Evan Carter, Nick Yorke, Justin Foscue, Sam Weatherly, AJ Vukovich, Jordan Walker, Nick Gonzales, Blaze Jordan, Max Meyer, Casey Martin.

What I love the most is his defense, as he's a potential plus defender with very good arm strength and range. My expectations for the Pirates were low coming into the draft but they did a nice job. Mitchell is an athletic marvel with speed and power to burn, but who has yet to prove he can really hit. I love it.” -Jason Kamlowski, 3 Picks (Matt Powers, Eccentric Laddieand  Phil Goyette), “He had excellent stats on Cape 2019 and NCAA 2020. When the Pittsburgh Pirates are on the clock if New Mexico State shortstop/second baseman Nick Gonzales is on the board there is a pretty good chance he will be the selection.

If anyone wants to complain, just know that him going under slot went a long ways to getting Blaze Jordan with their next pick.” -Matt Powers, “I think the biggest shocker was Nick Yorke going 17 to the Sox, wasn’t even a top 100 draft prospect, going that early was mind boggling.” -Drake Mann, “I feel like it’s hard not to have Yorke as the most surprising pick considering most boards had him in the third round range. For Gonzales, his 2020 season started off with historically good numbers as he smashed 12 home runs and was hitting .448 in just 16 games before the season was unfortunately cut short. With his strong work ethic and a high desire to improve, he will likely turn himself into at least an average defender in pro ball.

Nick Gonzales R1/7 (Pirates) “As for Gonzales, he is my most surprising because the Pirates seemingly made a great first round selection. He mainly uses center to left field and controls the strike zone with a keen eye and a very still head, allowing for good pitch recognition. Taking Hence gives them another premium athlete and he has checks all the boxes for me for a potentially high upside arm.
