The White Sox have selected Gonzalez with the 87th overall pick in the 2017 first-year player draft.
While Gonzalez can nearly hit 95 mph on the radar gun with his fastball, the junior from the University of New Mexico will likely play the outfield as a professional. The left-hander had almost twice as many walks as strikeouts in 2017, parlaying that eagle eye at the dish into an OBP of .500. Gonzalez is toolsy, as evidenced by his eight home runs and 14 stolen bases in 55 games for the Lobos. With speed, the ability to handle the bat and even some pop, Gonzalez is a safe pick after the first round of selections.
