To say the early season has been a disappointment for Nick Gonzales would be an understatement.
Although the 2020 first round pick was able to get his batting average over the Mendoza line last week, the strikeouts are still a concern and the power is no where near what it was last year.
Some of that was obviously due to playing in Greensboro, but Gonzales entered Tuesday’s game with just four extra-base hits.
Gonzales has really struggled making contact, and after punching out six times last week against Somerset, his strikeout rate had climbed to 36.
