Jeremy González is a slender, left-handed pitcher who was a June 1 signing in 2022 as a 17-year-old. The organization has clearly been limiting his game usage in the DSL, as he’s accumulated just 65 innings over the last two years in a starting role.
The 2023 season represented an marked improvement for González. He dropped his walk rate by more than 4% while raising his strikeout rate by better than 10% on the way to finishing with a 3.75 ERA and a 3.87 FIP. That strong K-BB%, combined with a ground ball rate in the upper-40s, is a good start for a kid that who will just be turning 19 as the 2024 season begins.

Displaying equal or better results with a larger workload will likely be González’s focus in 2024, but a solid start in the DR is intriguing. As all DSL players face, Jeremy will have a double-challenge in 2024: Adjusting to life in a new country when joining the ACL White Sox, and to a much better quality of batters.
