In his rookie professional season, Gorski was 3-4 with a 4.91 ERA in 13 games (11 starts) for the Brooklyn Cyclones. In 2010, he was 6-8 with 3 saves and a 4.58 ERA in 25 games (18 starts) for the Savannah Sand Gnats. His 2011 season was much honored after he went 11-3 with 3 complete games, a save, 140 strikeouts and a 2.08 ERA in 27 games (138 2/3 IP, 21 GS) for the St. Lucie Mets. He was a Florida State League Mid-Season All-Star, an FSL Post-Season All-Star, he earned the FSL Most Valuable Pitcher honor, he was MLB.com's Class A Adv.
