LHP Carlos Gonzalez (Taft, 2027) impressed with a polished and clean ‘pen on Saturday. The southpaw worked exclusively out of the stretch, moving with a controlled delivery into a medium balance point before dropping into his back leg and riding it in-line down the mound, repeating his mechanics consistently. His arm works with a longer reach in the back, creating some deception by hiding it well before moving through from a ¾ window. His fastball played in the 80-81 mph range, coming out clean with life and finish through the zone, also showing the ability to sink it on command. He went to a curveball at 64-65 mph, showing downer 1/7 shape with depth and bite. His last offering was a changeup that he kept around the zone at 75-76 mph, thrown with fastball intent while killing spin, mostly straight action.
