2025 Player Outlook
Gonzales has yet to bring his walk rate from the minors to the major league level, and until that happens, he remains a better asset in leagues that value batting average compared to OBP. He doesn’t boast an overwhelming offensive profile in terms of quality of contact, but he does a pretty good job of getting the bat on the ball (86.6% zone contact rate, 77% contact rate). He hit seven home runs and stole five bases in 94 games last season, and with a near-everyday role on the horizon in 2025, he could find a way to get to the 10/10 club, but that seems like his ceiling for the upcoming season. He’s free in drafts, so he’s worth a flyer in the later rounds of deep setups.
