7/31/14: 6-foot-1, 175 pound, SS/RHP has an athletic frame with a very strong lower body. One the mound, he throws over the top and has a quick arm that is long and loose on the back side. He throws with some effort and his mechanics lose fluidity when he overthrows. Gough touched 87 and sat 81-85 on the day with his fastball, which has good downward plane to it. He showed a 12/6 breaking ball that ran 67-69 and flashed plus when he kept it down. Gough also showed a good change-up that ran 74-76 with full arm speed and good arm side run to it. His command of his change-up was outstanding. At the plate, he set up in an athletic and balanced stance with high hands. He showed outstanding bat speed (86 mph exit velocity) and showed impressive gap-to-gap power during his round. In the field, Gough was fundamentally sound showing good actions at SS with slightly above average arm strength. He is a very physical player that could move to 3B and have success.
