On this edition of the Pirates Prospect Update series we take a look at outfielder, Tres Gonzalez, who is currently in double-a.
A standout at Georgia Tech for his hitting savvy, the Pirates drafted Gonzalez in the fifth round of the 2022 draft. Immediately upon making his debut with Bradenton, it was clear his skills at the plate would translate to the professional ranks as he was hitting .325 before quickly finding himself being promoted to High-A Greensboro. The organization was looking for Gonzalez to continue to develop his power at the next level.
Draft profiles site Gonzalez as having a pretty high floor, because of his outstanding bat-to-ball skills that he’s possessed since his days in high school.
