Entering the 2021 MLB Draft many scouts had infielder Nick Gonzales as a top five player in the draft. Gonzales wound up going undrafted through the first six picks of the draft, which allowed him to fall into the lap of the Pittsburgh Pirates at number seven.
With no minor league season to go play in, Gonzales spent the rest of his summer and early fall in the Pirates’ alternate training site in Altoona. While in Altoona, it did not take Gonzales long to start impressing the Pittsburgh Pirates.
