Carlos Gonzalez
Relief Pitcher | Calgary Remparts
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Gonzalez has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.
Defense & Hitting He has a quick release to the plate, which allows catchers a chance to throw out basestealers. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Gonzalez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gonzalez has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook The Calgary Remparts signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Gonzalez like a hot potato if something better comes along.
