Takes loss Saturday
PLos Angeles Dodgers
May 21, 2023
Gonzalez (1-1) was tagged with the loss against St. Louis on Saturday, surrendering three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one batter over one-third of an inning.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez entered in the eighth inning of a tie game and allowed a double and an intentional walk before serving up a three-run homer to Nolan Gorman. The southpaw had been dominant coming into the contest, tossing 11.1 scoreless frames and posting a 12:3 K:BB over his first 10 appearances of the campaign. Given that context, it's unlikely that his rough outing against the Cardinals will impact manager Dave Roberts' trust in Gonzalez.

Stat Review
How does Victor Gonzalez compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez wasn't on many radars heading into 2020 despite impressing in a run through three minor-league levels the previous season. The talented rookie failed to make the Dodgers' Opening Day roster but eventually emerged as LA's top lefty reliever, finishing with a 1.33 ERA and 0.74 WHIP. Gonzalez's 1.67 FIP nearly matched his minuscule ERA thanks to peripherals that fly off the charts. He held hitters to a .214 xwOBA and .229 xSLG, both top-10 marks among MLB relievers. Gonzalez also gave up zero barrels all season, registered a minuscule 2.5 BB% and yielded a .063 average against his slider. The Dodgers were not shy about going to him in the postseason, and Gonzalez ended up as the winning pitcher in the decisive game of the World Series. He'll be hard-pressed to match his magical rookie campaign but should fill a high-leverage role with the opportunity to build upon his success.
