Track Record: Gonzalez was one of the best players in the international class not named Roki Sasaki and immediately slides into the upper tier of San Francisco’s system.
Scouting Report: As would be expected of someone of his pedigree, Gonzalez’s card is full of loud tools. He’s a double-plus runner with above-average arm strength, and both skills should give him plenty of chances to stick at shortstop. So, too, will his hands, range and athleticism. At the plate, the switch-hitting Gonzalez whips the barrel through the zone with both of his swings and can lose baseballs from either side of the dish. He’s got to polish his hit tool somewhat, but that’s to be expected from someone so young.
The Future: Gonzalez will begin his career in the Dominican Summer League. If he achieves his ceiling, he can be a table-setter who provides plenty of speed, sticks at shortstop and mixes in plenty of power as well.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 70 | Field: 55 | Arm: 55.
