Pitching
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Gonzalez also has a decent changeup. The Vancouver Orcas hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. 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 Vancouver Orcas 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.
