The Pirates selected Nick Gonzales with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft, and a waterfall of analysis followed.
Many loved the pick (including myself) while others remain hesitant. After all, Gonzales is just 5-foot-10, 190 pounds. He was a walk-on at New Mexico State.
Know which conference New Mexico State calls home? Don't Google it.
Didn't think so.
And that's to say nothing of the 4,000-foot elevation Gonzales enjoyed at home and the aluminum bat that requires a mere love tap to send a ball rocketing through that thin, thin air.
