Gomez

It was my first look at Gomez and he displayed nice tools at 3B with a mature approach at the dish. Gomez is a big frame INF with fluid movements at his position. He moves well with his big frame and made nice plays throughout the game. He has the arm to stick at 3B with the glove work and active feet as a SS. At the plate he had a loud barrel that landed for a hit to CF. His swing displays fluid movements with a small stride. He is able to stay behind his front side and he rotates with a short compact swing with decent extension. Throughout the game he had quality at-bats but the results led to weak contact vs a quality arm. Overall, he has a smooth LH stroke and quick hands at the plate . Gomez was able to work counts throughout the game and displayed a solid middle-middle approach.

Hitting cleanup for Clayton Valley, I was very intrigued by Gomez’s offensive profile. With a smooth LH stroke and quick hands at the plate, Gomez has a swing path that creates consistent lift and makes hard contact often. Working multiple deep counts, Gomez put up three quality AB’s on the day. After a 4 pitch BB to begin his day, Gomez barreled a 1-2 SL down the RF line for a stand-up triple in his second trip, coming around to score on a groundout for Clayton Valley’s lone run. In his third trip, he smoked a 1-2 FB into deep LCF, getting to 2nd on an E7 off the LF’s glove. Comfortable hitting with two strikes, the UC Santa Barbara commit gets into his front side well, with good bat speed present. Standing at 6’ 3”, 195 lbs, Gomez displays plenty of pull-side power, with the ability to go the other way.
