A long limbed, 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame, Gates showed well in his start on the mound this Thursday. The right-hander threw four innings allowing four runs and three walks while striking out five. His fastball was sitting 79-81 mph while the change-up was 74-76 mph and the slider was 70-73 mph. The fastball tended to sink and paired up well with the change-up and slider. The slider was used as a change of pace and freeze pitch. After a rocky first inning Gates settled in and found command for all three pitches, able to fill up the zone.
