There weren’t a lot of bright spots in Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Giants. However, one of the silver linings was the performance from right-hander Tony Gonsolin.
Gonsolin, 24, was a ninth round pick in the 2016 draft out of St. Mary’s. He spent 2018 between Rancho Cucamonga and Tulsa. In 26 starts, Gonsolin went 10-2 with a 2.60 ERA. He had 155 strikeouts in 128 innings.
So far this spring he has made three appearances. He’s thrown six innings without allowing a run while striking out five. Opponents are hitting only .190 off of him.
