Marcos Gonzalez

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Cleveland Guardians #30 prospect in 2018
  Gonzalez, ranked No. 27 in the 2016 international signing class, was one of the top performers in the Dominican Prospect League in the year leading up to his signing with the Indians for $250,000. He carried that performance over to 2017 during his professional debut in the Dominican Summer League. Gonzalez has a chance to have about average tools across the board, and gets the most out of his tools thanks to his steady play and advanced baseball IQ. He has a good feel for the barrel and does a good job of controlling the strike zone, even drawing more walks than strikeouts during his debut. His swing is more geared toward hitting line drives in the gaps, but he has a chance to grow into more power as he physically matures. He has average speed and above-average arm strength. Gonzalez already has good defensive instincts and soft hands, giving him a good chance to stick at shortstop. Gonzalez is on track to make his U.S. debut in 2018 in the Arizona League.
