5-foot-11, 180 pounds with a square frame in his upper half and a lean build. Gates put in a solid workout as a position player and then showed intriguing upside on the mound. As a hitter, showed an aggressive approach in BP & can tap into more power as he continues to get stronger. Creates separation with a high leg kick while hands shift down and back to get loaded. Sits over back leg as he rotates thru contact. Active defender who keeps momentum going throughout fielding process. Short arm path with a high ¾ release. Gates might have a higher ceiling on the mound, where he currently sits 84-86 but has the frame and arm action that project for more velocity down the road. He also showed the aptitude to spin 2 variations of his breaking ball and both should be usable offerings. Pitches with a quick paced, repeatable delivery. Arm path gets extended after hand break then shortens up into release. Aggressive finish out front with plenty of hand speed. Stays tall after release with a strong front side that braces his momentum. Pitches with conviction and an aggressive demeanor.
