Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Gabriel Gonzalez went 3-for-3 on Wednesday for High-A Cedar Rapids. Two of the hits were doubles, he walked once, drove in two, scored twice, and stole two bases. Despite the big day at the plate, his batting average stands at .250 on the young season, but hopefully this breakout game is a sign of things to come for MLB's 72nd overall prospect. The Twins' fourth-ranked prospect hit .348 in Single-A over 73 games in 2023, but just .215 in 43 games at High-A. On the plus side he hit nine home runs at each stop, totaling 18, and he's still only 20 years old so there's time to grow into more power.
Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Gabriel Gonzalez hit a home run to extend his hit streak to 14 games in a 2-for-5 showing for High-A Everett. The hit streak stretches back to his time with Single-A Modesto, where he slashed .348/.403/.530 with nine home runs, 51 runs, 54 RBI, and eight stolen bases. Through 10 games with Everett, Gonzalez is slashing .295/.367/.727 with six home runs, nine runs, 15 RBI, and a stolen base. The 19-year-old is years away from the majors but worth looking at in dynasty leagues.
