9/26/25

The Central Valley finds itself represented yet again here with Daniel Jay Gonzalez putting together a strong showing during the workout portion of the day. The compactly built 5'9 171.5 lbs. Gonzalez boasts strong tools across the board as a LH hitter and catcher. He showed off solid present athleticism for a backstop by posting a 7.23 60 yard dash time with 19.3 MPH of max run speed. His defensive workout was strong with consistent low 2.0 range pop times from a present 73 MPH catcher velocity arm. Gonzalez uses presently quick hands at 21.6 MPH with a compact contact oriented bat path that moves at 67.9 MPH with intriguing torque from his lower half including 17.6 Gs of rotational acceleration. The quality of his LH swing shows up during batting practice with his strong feel for line drive contact that reached 311' of max distance while peaking at 93.2 MPH on his exit velocities.

Picking the final player to make his way into this 10 player grouping was not an easy one because of the quality of performance from several players in attendance. Gonzalez earns his way on to this list for his ability to hit from both sides of the plate while showing a long term profile to stick at catcher with a strong defensive profile. Gonzalez was strong during the workout portion of the event where his tools earned him recognition in the names to know portion of our Workout Warriors Quick Hits, but his ability to put those tools to use in game pushes him onto this list. Gonzalez had mutliple hits over the course of the two games his team played at PK Park including a deep count line drive single to the middle of the field where he battled out of an early 2K count. He uses the middle of the field consistently for contact showing a high hit tool with bat to ball and the ability to use his lower 1/2 at a high level. Behind the dish he handles velocity from pitchers with comfort, is adept at tracking spin with his glove and presenting it effectively while being a strong blocker on balls in the dirt. His arm is solid with consistent accuracy to the back. Gonzalez performed at a high level across the board making a statement to be a name to follow out of the Central Valley.
