Jacob GonzálezCHW · PIT · 1B/3B/SS

2026 review

Jacob González was a low-average, modest-power infielder who got regular at-bats without forcing much swing-and-miss. Across 81 games and 59 starts split between CHW and PIT he hit .220/.274/.364 over 227 PA (209 AB), adding 7 HR, 21 R and 31 RBI. He posted a 19.4 K% and a 5.3 BB% over 227 PA. CHW selected his contract May 30 and optioned him Jul 10, and his last game for CHW came Jul 9 with his first for PIT on Jul 12, after usage that ran 1 game and 3 PA in May, 19 games and 51 PA in Jul, 15 games and 34 PA in Sep, and 23 games each in Jun (79 PA) and Aug (60 PA). Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 963rd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 39th of 61 shortstops. His .282 wOBA ran 23 points below his .305 xwOBA over 227 PA. The TDK LABS card opened Jun 2 framing the callup as a path to steady at-bats with an infield absence ahead of him; by mid-Jul, after the move to Pittsburgh, it still had his contact reading cold; by late Aug it had him filling a gap at shortstop.
