Episode Details

Nineteen-year-old Justin Gonzales, the Boston Red Soxs number five prospect, is making waves with his impressive performance in spring training and High-A Greenville. Standing at six foot five and weighing two hundred ten pounds, Gonzales has shown raw power with the second hardest tracked ball at one hundred seventeen point three miles per hour. His recent four-game stretch in High-A Greenville has seen him slash three sixty-eight over four fifty-five slash five seventy-nine, including his first pro grand slam and nine RBIs. With seven hits leading the team and his RBI total topping the South Atlantic League, Gonzales is earning praise for his bat speed and strength. Signed for two hundred fifty thousand dollars from the Dominican Republic in January 2024, Gonzales is working on consistency after a ground ball heavy year last season. Currently playing mostly in right field, Gonzales sits at two seventy-six over three thirty-seven slash four forty-seven overall, with seventeen RBIs and reaching base in fifteen of seventeen games. If he continues to elevate the ball, Gonzales could quickly climb through the system.
