Luiz Gohara has had a tough 2018 thus far with a couple of injuries that functionally cost him a spot in the Braves’ starting rotation and his entire spring training and then a tough rehab assignment that saw him struggle with limiting the long ball and commanding his pitches. This combined with multiple issues in his family and 2018 could have turned into a true nightmare for the young lefty.
However, when he is right, Gohara is one of the best pitching prospects in the Braves’ system with a high octane fastball that reaches the upper 90’s and a slider is a great highlight reel strikeout pitch.
