School: UCLA
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age at Draft: 21.8
Gourson’s first name is Ethan, but he goes by Duce. A 6-foot, 200-pound infielder, Gourson stands out for his offensive approach and on-base skills. He has gotten on base at a clip greater than 43% in each of his first two seasons with UCLA, and in 2023 he went from four home runs to 10. Gourson doesn’t have a clear carrying tool and he might be more of a fringy defender in the infield, but his lefthanded bat and on-base ability should provide value.
