2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzales is the type of pitcher who gets better results than his stuff would indicate but could fall off a cliff quickly. This past season saw him win double-digit games for the third time in his career with a fourth consecutive season with an ERA of 4.00 or lower. The big difference with this last season was the underlying skills were much different and should provide pause for 2022. He is still a pitcher who survives by working the periphery of the zone and messing with timing, but the 1.8 HR/9 last season is unsightly, and the abnormally-high 82.2 LOB% and abnormally-low .239 BABIP are what led to him posting an ERA 1.1 runs below his 5.06 FIP. His HR/FB rate was higher than in any other full season, but it's a reminder of what can go wrong when someone who has below-average stuff across the board isn't sharp as an extreme flyball pitcher. This selection will not feel good, so it's probably best to let someone else make this roster move. Read Past Outlooks

Earns win over Blue Jays
Gonzales (2-4) picked up the win against Toronto on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two batters.
ANALYSIS
Gonzales was far from dominant in the outing, as he induced only four swinging strikes and tallied just two punchouts. However, the left-hander allowed only one extra-base hit and limited Toronto to just a third-inning run. Gonzales has finished with a quality start in three of his past four outings to lower his season ERA to 3.08. He's expected to make his next start at home against Oakland on Monday.

Wins have been hard to come by this season. Jason Collette examines early run-support numbers and notes pitchers that have enjoyed good fortune in that regard, and those that have not, like Corbin Burnes.

2014
Gonzales parlayed the highest strikeout and lowest walk rate of his career into his best season ever. His resultant 20.6 K-BB% ranked 16th among qualified starters. While this is impressive, it's not commensurate with his elite ratios. Gonzales altered his pitch mix, throwing more cutters and sinkers in lieu of fewer changeups. It's unclear if the tweak is the reason or if it's a sample-size effect, but Gonzales' curveball, cutter and sinker all missed more bats. If he's able to maintain his strikeout gains, not only does that directly boost his fantasy production, but it also softens the variance he's experienced the past few seasons. In addition, more whiffs will offset the likely increase of his career-low 2.5 BB%. If the room wants to chase 2020's surface stats, don't get in the way, but if there's pause, don't hesitate to draft Gonzales. At worst, he can be streamed at home.
