A three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference choice, Matt Gonzalez earned first-team honors in 2016 while also being named to the ACC All-Tournament team and the NCAA Gainesville Regional all-tournament team. He won the team’s triple crown by hitting .378 with 11 homers and 54 RBI and was named the team’s most valuable player that season. The Acworth, Ga., native also made the All-ACC second team in 2014 and 2015, and was named a freshman All-American in 2013. Gonzalez batted .318 with 20 home runs, 170 RBI and 39 stolen bases over his four years, playing in 239 games and starting 236 at third base and in the outfield. He finished his career with 302 base hits, third-most in program history at the time, and led the Yellow Jackets to NCAA regional appearances twice. Following his senior season, he was selected in the sixth round of the Major League Baseball draft by Atlanta.
