Scouting Report
Gordon hasn't pitched this year due to a lat injury, which is expected to hold him out until early May. Upon his return, he should be a rotation fixture for the Rumble Ponies after he impressed in Double-A down the stretch in 2025.
He lacks upper-echelon stuff, but a 24-year-old starter with above-average command and two above-average secondaries (his changeup and his slider) is going to get a look in the big leagues at some point. He honestly reminds me a bit of longtime Cubs stalwart Kyle Hendricks, who thrived with pinpoint control and movement despite lacking any velocity of note. Gordon throws harder than Hendricks ever did (he's been sitting 92-93 mph consistently with his fastball), but he also doesn't have quite the same knack for pitch sequence as "The Professor."
A mid-2027 debut is firmly on the table if Gordon can get and stay healthy this year; at the very least a cup of coffee in Syracuse should be the expectation before 2026 is over.
