Gorges stands 6-foot-0 180-pounds with a solid frame. At first he fields the ball to his glove side, bends over at his waist to field and funnels back to his belt. His transfer is slow but clean. He uses medium length to his arm action, release from a mid ¾ slot at 72 mph. At the plate his approach is wide and weight shifted back, hands ear height; on the pitch he uses a small down load, leg lift and stride for timing. Hips and weight shift towards the pitcher, hands are powerful and quick, stays strong inside the ball through contact with some extension and a short shoulder height finish. His exit velocity was 86 showing positives signs of power potential.
