Gabriel Gonzalez is a fantasy baseball OF prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Gabriel Gonzalez, OF, Seattle Mariners
ANALYSIS: Gonzalez was signed by the Mariners in February 2021 out of Venezuela with mixed reviews due to the difficulty of seeing the outfielder during the pandemic. He quickly made an impact in the DSL, slashing .287/.371/.521 with seven home runs and nine steals in 54 games in 2021.
The 18-year-old impressed in two stops last season, hitting .321/.410/.468, reaching Single-A and showing an ability to make solid contact throughout the field. Now 19, Gonzalez returned to Modesto to open 2023, nearly two and a half years younger than the average player in the California League.
While he has impressive raw power thus far, Gonzalez has shown an impressive ability to put bat to ball, with a 7.2% walk rate and 13.2% strikeout rate while hitting .352.
VERDICT: Gonzalez has strong raw power that should show as he climbs the ranks, but his ability to put bat to ball and limit strikeouts has put him much more on the radar for shallow dynasty leagues as well as deep dynasty leagues. When the power really comes into his game, he could develop into one of the top-ranked hitters in fantasy baseball.
