Gatewood has come up big in key situations all season long for the Cougars and it's one reason why Clovis is ranked among the top teams in the country. He's batting .389 with 28 RBIs, 23 runs, nine doubles and five home runs.
What the scouts think: At 6-foot-5, 190 pounds, Gatewood is huge for a shortstop, which leads to speculation that he might move out of the position to third base down the road. He has a very good arm, but maybe not the speed necessary to play the position. He definitely has the power, which is why a move to third base makes sense.
Where he will get drafted: Gatewood's power and athletic ability make him a valuable prospect. He should go somewhere in the top 20 selections.
