Average frame, standing 6-foot, 190 pounds. Fastball ranged 78-81, touching 83. Lands across his line, fighting to get back to a high-3/4 slot. Rotational through release, falling to the 3B side. Fastball can be erratic, missing up and arm side at times. Breaking ball has gradual tilt, rolling out of the hand at 68-70. Change-up at 75.

Left hander has begun to make strides after seeing him earlier in the summer. Works from a high-3/4 slot with a long, loose arm action. Slow tempo in the delivery to the balance point creates some effort in the body, while showing an ability to repeat the delivery. Arm speed has begun to improve with the fastball ranging 73-75, flashing arm side run. Fastball seems heavy and pounded the zone. Change-up is the second pitch now sitting 63-64 with near look-alike arm speed. Change flashed fade while consistently in the zone. The curveball touched 65 with gradual 1/7 action. The arm quickness on fastball and change was not consistent on the breaking ball. 5-foot-11, 170 pound frame has some strength in it and should continue to grow with time.
08.23.16 A young frame with some strength already, the 5-foot-10, 170 pound left-handed pitcher worked 69-73 with his fastball and showed a good feel for the strike zone. A long arm action worked toward a high-3/4 slot. A slow delivery tempo created some effort from balance into foot strike. The breaking ball and change-up both worked with near fastball handspeed. The breaking ball topping at 62, while the change ranged 58-62. Offensively, the right handed hitter worked from an athletic setup and early load that created a little bit of a two piece swing, level through the zone, and geared to pull. The exit velocity is advanced for his age, topping at 81mph. Gonzalez ran the sixty in 8.06.
