As reported by Arizona Daily Star sportswriter Greg Hansen, Cienega grad and Desert Speed School alum Nick Gonzales is off to a strong start in his professional career:
Cienega High School grad Nick Gonzales, last year’s first-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is playing his first year of minor-league baseball for the Greensboro Grasshoppers, a High-A affiliate. Predictably, the second baseman is producing. Through Friday, Gonzales was hitting .382 with two home runs.
