So after watching Gohara give up a run with nine Ks through seven innings, what's his ceiling a #2, #3, other?
Gohara at 96+ with a plus slider and average control is a 2-pitch #3. Think a LHed Archer. This or dominant BP arm are his most likely outcomes.
Gohara at 94 like today probably needs above average control to be a consistent 2-pitch #3. I think he profiles as a guy that can have above average control, and is at the age where pitchers still typically improve their control.
Gohara at 96+ with a plus slider, an average change, and average control is a 4 win #2 who can be even better if the control improves even more.
The decline in FA velocity 2 games in a row is a bit concerning, but we can probably chalk it up to late season fatigue. I would like to see him shut down for the year.

I'm certainly no conditioning expert, but he seems to be carrying a lot of "bad" weight, especially for someone as young as he is. I can't help but wonder if some of the fatigue is exacerbated by the apparent excess weight. I also can't help but wonder what effect that weight, if any, has on his velocity and control over time.
Don't PH for our future position players.
6-13 against the last place Phillies. Good job, Snit.
I really discount September performance to a great extent. My guess is in a "nothing" game, everyone was intent on seeing the kick-off for the 4:30 NFL games than today's tilt. Gohara has been impressive though, especially as he's worked his way up the ladder. Haven't seen that much of him, but there may be a couple of conditioning red flags to a guy who makes Williams Perez look slim.
Damn good game by Gohara
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Only 2 BBs in 19 IPs since Gohara walked 4 in his first appearance. That's a nice thing to see in this organization.
