Missouri’s Cuban-born righty with swing-and-miss juice
Keyler Gonzalez is a sturdy, competitive RHP who gave Missouri real impact in the 2025 season, posting a 4.47 ERA with 87 strikeouts in 86.2 innings, then flashed even more bat-missing upside in 2026 with a 5.02 ERA, 36 strikeouts, and a 3-1 record over 28.2 innings. The separator is his poise and pitchability: he’s shown he can work both in relief and as a starter, attack quality lineups, and stay composed when he trusts his defense. For a team, that means a versatile arm with legit strikeout ability and some “plug-and-play” toughness.
