Gongora had a strong season with Wright State in 2023. He posted a 3.17 ERA over 16 starts and 93.2 innings, with a 22.4% strikeout rate and 8.3% walk rate. A 6-foot-5, 215-pound lefthander, Gongora has plenty of room to fill out and was named the Horizon League pitcher of the year for his performance. He throws from almost straight over the top, and his slot allows him to generate nice backspin on his fastball, a pitch that sat in the 89-91 mph range but has been up to 94. While Gongora does have a high release point, he also generates a ton of vertical break with the fastball—nearly 20 inches this spring. He also throws a mid-80s changeup with arm-side fade and a mid-70s curveball with 1-to-7 shape and gradual downward depth. While his fastball plays better than his velocity indicates, Gongora will need to refine his secondaries to succeed in a starting role in pro ball.
