Scouting Report

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55 

Gonzalez earned national freshman of the year recognition in 2021 and helped Mississippi win its first-ever College World Series championship last June. The U.S. collegiate national team's starter at shortstop the last two summers, he could be the first player drafted at that position in 2023. He's a lock to become the first Rebels position player ever selected in the first round. 

Gonzalez has the bat-to-ball skills and control of the strike zone to be at least a solid hitter, and he has been more consistent in 2023 after hunting home runs too much as a sophomore. With his strength, bat speed and the leverage in his left-handed stroke, he has 25-homer potential. He does a nice job of using the entire field, with most of his over-the-fence power going to his pull side. 

While Gonzalez regularly displays below-average speed out of the batter's box, he may be quick enough to stay at shortstop. His instincts and rhythm help his cause at short, where he covers ground with long strides and has solid arm strength. Some evaluators wonder if he'll have to shift to third base or second base, but if so he'd be able to profile as a quality regular at either position. 

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 40 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

Gonzalez starred in college at Mississippi, winning national freshman of the year accolades in 2021 and a College World Series championship in 2022 while also starting for the U.S. collegiate national team both summers. When questions about his athleticism creeped up during his junior season, he slipped from a potential top-five pick to No. 15 overall, where he signed for an under-slot $3.9 million. He has done little damage as pro, slashing .232/.310/.335 in his first three seasons while reaching Triple-A.

While Gonzalez has continued to control the strike zone and consistently put the ball in play just like he did with the Rebels, he has lapsed into a defensive approach at the plate and makes too much soft contact. After displaying 25-homer power potential in college, he rarely turns his left-handed stroke loose and rarely drives the ball with authority. Adjustments to quicken his load, improve his bat path and allow him to pull more pitches won't make much difference unless he swings with more intent.

Gonzalez has below-average speed but his instincts allow him to play better than that on the bases and in the field. He has sure hands, solid arm strength and a finely calibrated internal clock, though he's not particularly rangy. Primarily a shortstop in his first two years as a pro, he spent more time at second base in 2025 and may not be more than utilityman unless he gets his bat going.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

Gonzalez had a decorated college career at Mississippi, winning national freshman of the year honors in 2021, helping lead the Rebels to their first-ever College World Series title in 2022 and starting for the U.S. collegiate national team during both summers. Questions about his athleticism arose during his junior season, so he dropped to the 15th overall pick, where the White Sox signed him for $3.9 million. He has slashed just .233/.313/.326 while reaching Double-A in his first two pro seasons, though he did star in the Southern League playoffs last September as Birmingham won the championship.

After controlling the strike zone and making consistent contact in college, Gonzalez has continued to do the same in pro ball. But the 25-homer upside he showed as an amateur hasn't translated, and it now looks like he'll have to add some strength and use a more selectively aggressive approach to produce 12-15 per year. Even after making adjustments to quicken his load and give him a better left-handed swing path, he still struggled to pull pitches or drive them with much authority in 2024.

Gonzalez is a below-average runner with solid instincts on the bases but questions about his ability to remain at shortstop. He's a sure-handed defender with solid arm strength and a good internal clock, and the White Sox think he can cover enough ground at short. Others think he's better suited for second base (where he saw some action last season) or third base, which would put more demands on his bat.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45

Gonzalez earned national freshman of the year honors at Mississippi in 2021, helped lead the Rebels to their first-ever College World Series championship in 2022 and started at shortstop for the U.S. collegiate national team both summers. He continued to star last spring but teams began to question his athleticism, so he lasted until the 15th overall pick, where Chicago signed him for $3.9 million. He slugged just .260 in his pro debut, though the White Sox believe some offseason adjustments will restore his power. 

Gonzalez exhibited fine bat-to-ball skills and plate discipline throughout his college career, and he walked nearly as much as he struck out in his first taste of pro ball. As an amateur, his strength plus the bat speed and leverage in his left-handed stroke were thought to give him 25-homer potential, with most of his power playing to his pull side. After struggling to turn on pitches in his debut, he's standing more upright at the plate in hopes that will translate into a quicker load and better swing path, but he's not hitting the ball with much authority in 2024.

Because Gonzalez's pure speed is below average at best, there are questions about his ability to remain at shortstop. His proponents -- the White Sox among them -- think he covers enough ground with his long strides and makes more than enough plays with his keen instincts, quick hands and solid arm. Others think he's most likely to wind up at second or third base, which would put more pressure on his ability to hit for power.
