3 years agoPittsburgh Pirates prospect Matt Gorski is a physical, athletic outfielder with a defense-first skill set. The strong 24-year-old is known for his ability to cover all of the outfield positions like a champ, using his reliable glove and surprising speed to make plays all across the outfield grass. While he has shown no problem playing up the middle in the minors, his arm is likely best suited for right field when he reaches the majors. Offensively, though, Gorski has been underwhelming. The 2019 second-round pick has poor batting mechanics, causing him to produce a swing with minimal launch angle and no leg kick. As a result of his poor offensive approach, Gorski has struggled in the power category, too. For as bad as Gorski has historically been while hitting, he turned things around this past week by going 10-for-23 with a whopping eight homers and 11 RBI over the course of just six games. For now, it's impossible to project his fantasy value. At times, he lacks talent and merely looks like someone who will ride the bench in the majors. But on the other hand, during stretches like this past week, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about his development and future impact.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
