BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 290
CURRENT ADP: ~309 overall
ANALYSIS: Heading into last season many thought Gonsolin could be a breakout candidate. However, he ended up battling a shoulder injury and when he was on the mound, was mainly used as an opener. He ended up making just 13 starts and only pitched 55 innings on the season. When he was out there, however, Gonsolin did enjoy success, pitching to a 3.23 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 4.54 FIP, and recording 65 strikeouts.
Granted in a small sample size, the advanced metrics are real pretty for Gonsolin. While he had some major issues with the walks (14.2%), he did post strong strikeout (27.2%) and whiff rates (29.7%). On top of the control issues, he also saw a slight velocity decrease. Gonsolin mainly relies on his fastball, splitter, and sinker, throwing them 91.2% of the time. The latter two were his best pitches last season, generating whiff rates of 41.4% and 47.8% with the splitter and slider, respectively. Gonsolin is certainly an injury risk, but if he can stay healthy, he should have his chance to pitch full-time in the starting rotation. The talented right-hander is a solid middle-of-the-rotation arm and could be a valuable asset in fantasy this season.
