Jacob Gonzalez

Hitting scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

Gonzalez projects as a bat-first, steady infielder with a realistic outcome of a solid second-division regular who can move around the dirt, with some chance to be a lower-end everyday shortstop if the defense holds. The path to that role runs through sustaining his recent gains in impact while maintaining his underlying contact and on-base skills against big-league quality pitching. If the power backs up or he is forced to second or third base full-time, his profile fits more as a versatile utility option who provides professional at-bats and average defense. Given age, pedigree, and performance trajectory, he should compete for major league time within the next couple seasons, with moderate but not star-level upside.

Projected MLB role: up-down 2B
