Nick Gonzales is one of the best generational talents in college baseball and is waiting for the MLB draft. Though High School he was a high prospect and continued his dominance in his three seasons at New Mexico State. His statistics and accolades speaks for itself but it was the shortened 2020 season that made him famous.
