Gomez was arguably the best catcher at the event, moving well behind the dish and showing a very high aptitude for blocking and recovering with ease. With a smaller, stronger frame, Gomez is a leader behind the dish, even in a showcase setting. Using a slight toe-tap trigger, he loads and explodes through the ball with present power resulting in consistent barrels both during BP and the gameplay portion. Had a single (5.14 turn) and a hard hit ground out to the backhand side of the shortstop who made a very good play. Arm is still developing, but throws showed accuracy on the bag at second base.

Ball comes out short of 2nd base. Throws are low, but accurate. Defense: 2.30-2.40 pop times. Active body behind the dish. Quick pop-up from initial stance. Quick ball transfer. Stronger arm strength can improve pop time significantly.

Gomez has a smaller, strong frame that resulted in a loud two rounds of BP that featured line drives to all fields showing off his hit tool. Uses a slight toe-tap trigger to load-and-explode through the ball using his strong lower half to drive the hands/barrel into the ball. Remains balanced through contact and finish. Behind the plate he showed soft hands and a quick exchange. Arm strength is developing (as it should for an 8th grader) but throws were accurate and on the bag with a 66 mph arm strength and 2.26 best pop time.
