Pedro Gonzalez
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Gonzalez also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.
Defense & Hitting Gonzalez has lots of energy. He comes off the mound like a cat and doesn't make many errors. His pickoff move is merely average. 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. Interesting sidenote, The Grand Rapids Red Dogs have been known to use Gonzalez as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook The Grand Rapids Red Dogs 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.
