05/16/2021 - All-In Membership - Geneva, NY Gates is a LHP who will graduate in 2023. Medium frame athletic build with projectable build with room to fill throughout moving forward. On the mound, this left-handed pitcher gathers over the rubber and keeps eyes on target throughout delivery. Methodical pitcher who tries to set hitters up. Throws from 3/4 arm slot and was quick to the plate from the stretch. FB topped out at 67mph and was his best pitch during his bullpen. Mixed in a 3/9 shaped curveball and a developing CH that he throws with FB arm speed. As Gates incorporates his lower half, as well as a long toss throwing program, his arm strength and command will improve. Hits from the left side with an athletic and crouched stance. Solid base, with good balance through contact, and a direct barrel path. Small hand load with ability to keep hands inside ball. Sprayed the ball to all fields and a bat exit velocity of 75mph. Has a bright future at the next level with continued development and growth.
