  • This is one in a series of stories breaking down members of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 40-man roster. Ben Cherington's first draft pick as general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates was used on Nick Gonzales out of New Mexico State in 2020.

The article discusses the performance of Pittsburgh Pirates' second baseman Nick Gonzales during the 2023 season. Gonzales, who was called up to the majors in June, showed promise with a .296 batting average and a .388 on-base percentage over 10 games. Despite his limited sample size, his performance was notable enough to raise questions about his role as the starting second baseman for the upcoming season. The article highlights his ability to hit for average and get on base, suggesting that while he might not have the power numbers, his contact skills and plate discipline could make him a valuable asset. However, it also notes the need for a larger sample size to truly evaluate his capabilities at the major league level. The discussion around Gonzales includes comparisons with other potential candidates for the position, weighing his potential against the need for consistent performance.
