Vail native and former NCAA batting champion has been on a tear of late in his first call-up to as a middle infielder with Major League's Baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mark Lawson Special to the Arizona Daily Star PHOENIX — Seattle is known for being the founding home of coffee giant Starbucks, which opened its first location near the famous Pike Place Market back in 1971. The city also happens to be where Major League Baseball’s 2023 All-Star game will take place Tuesday evening.

He’d not only get his first hit but also his first home run in his very next game. “Being up here, I’ve been starting a little earlier,” Gonzales said of his evolving routine. “Getting my timing right, working in the field a little more — just the little things you have to do to stay consistent.”
The Pirates traveled to Los Angeles around the July 4 holiday for a four-game series at Dodger Stadium, which Gonzales describes as his “welcome to the big leagues moment.” Immediately after that trip, things finally came full circle for Gonzales. Over this past weekend, the Pirates came to his home state to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Even with him playing for the visiting club, audible cheers could be heard when he stepped into the batter’s box for the first time. A questionable third strike may have ended Gonzales’ first Chase Field at bat, but he’d later get his first hit of the series, helping Pittsburgh take their only win of the three-game set.
