Nick Gonzales has the potential to be a very good hitter in the major leagues. That’s the general expectation for players who get drafted in the top ten.

In the first home game of his career, Gonzales picked up two hits — a triple and home run — in the Pirates big win against the San Diego Padres.

The home run was a moon shot, hit to dead center field that went 106 off the bat and traveled 442 feet.
