2017 Spring Scout Blog: Athletically built, 6-foot-2 right-handed pitcher out dueled Dennie in a 1-0 victory over Plymouth. Gongwer threw a complete game shutout giving up just 1 hit, to Dennie, and striking out 5. Pounds the strike zone with a fastball that sits 81-84. Held velocity throughout game. Breaking ball has 11/5 shape with some late break. Sat 69-72 with the curveball. Ability to throw it in any count. Misses barrels with this two pitch combination, often drawing hitters to be over aggressive. Works at a quick pace with smooth rhythm and confidence. Arm slot is high 3/4 with above average arm speed. Average use of lower half. Lands on heel, often doesn't get through his stride leg. Hips stay closed too long. Repeatable delivery. Competitive kid, bulldog on the mound.
