09/20/2014 - 2014 Under Armour Showcase: Futures East Gonnella stands at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, with quite a bit of room to develop into his large frame. He ran 7.0 in the 60 yard dash, and got down the line in the 4.4 range from the left side of the plate. His left handed stroke is short and compact, and his hitting approach is simple and easy - allowing him to consistently find the barrel, and to put his raw power into play. He showed the ability to drive the ball from gap to gap, more carrying line drives than towering shots - again, fitting with a shorter line drive type stroke. His power is projectable for this reason, as he develops physically he stands to get to extra base power quite often - making him an interesting combination of hitting ability and raw power. Defensively, his actions were athletic and his hands worked fine. He kept his feet underneath him well, and showed good body control. It stands to reason that he'd be able to play a corner OF spot as well as 1B, making him an optional as a versatile defender with an potentially potent left handed bat.
