    A glove-first shortstop with a commitment to Oklahoma State, Benjie Gonzalez is a switch-hitter now but may just hit from the right side as a pro. His 6.6-second 60 time was the second-fastest at the Excellence Tournament. Gonzalez , 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds, has excellent hands a plus arm, but there are significant questions about whether the bat will play in pro ball.
