LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 13U/14U Northern California Prospect Showcase
Jacob Gonzales is a 2028 LHP/1B with a 5-8 155 lb. frame from Stockton, CA who attends St. Mary's. Features a smaller lean build with plenty of room to add. Ran an 8.99 60-yd dash. At 1B, showed solid actions. Has sureness to his hands/glove while showing present glove-to-hand quickness on DPs. Was accurate with his throws showing a longer/loose AA on throws across and a shorter lower slot AA on DPs where he worked quickly to release. At the plate, he sits in a relaxed upright stance where he uses an early leg kick trigger. Loads into a higher elbow but barrel gets into a decent launch position. Barrel works on a more lofted uphill path through the zone. Inconsistent round of BP but flashed quality impact when he caught it on front. On the mound, showed a more tall/fall type delivery. Arm works clean/continuous in the back and to a ¾ slot at release. Upper half will fly open early at times. His fastball worked up to 71 exhibiting some natural cutting action with some gloveside location tendency. Mixed in a slider with shorter lateral break at 58-60.
