Before the 2020 season, not too many people outside of those that follow the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system closely knew the name Victor Gonzalez.
The Dodgers originally signed the left-handed pitcher out of Mexico in 2012 during the same scouting trip that landed them both Yasiel Puig and Julio Urias.
While Gonzalez did not make the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster in 2020, he was eventually called up and turned in arguably the best season for any of their relievers.
Overall in 15 regular-season appearances (one start), Gonzalez pitched to a 1.33 ERA, 1.67 FIP and 0.
