Gotschall is one of the top pitchers in Colorado's Class. On this day his 5th inning two-run homer created the momentum needed for DC. Big, strong, square build. Shows athleticism. His future is on the mound. Past Team Colorado Future Games team member. FB ranges from 85-89 with ++SL… Great follow in Colorado.
