Luis Enrique Gonzalez is a 6’2″, 200 lb. left-handed pitcher from Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, the same city as former Miami Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Born on February 21st, 2000, Gonzalez was signed through free agency on June 5th of this season. A month later, he made his professional debut with the DSL Marlins, in the rookie-level Dominican Summer League.
Opponents couldn’t figure Gonzalez out at all right from the jump. In his first-ever pro game, a 9-5 Marlins win over the DSL Red Sox1 on July 1st, he gave up an unearned run, a walk, and a hit, but struck out two batters in 2/3 of an inning.
