Uncommitted. Compact, 5-foot-11, 178-pound frame with strength. Batted third and played right field for the Storm. A left-handed hitter, Gomez is twitchy with present bat speed and a line drive approach, showing the ability to use the whole field. He recorded two hits and drew a walk on the day. Also flashed the ability to work deep counts. Defensively, he showed comfortable actions in right field and flashed a strong and accurate arm during pregame I/O. Primarily a catcher for the Storm, Gomez is a name in the sophomore class to continue to follow.

Hit: LHH. Open crouched setup, leg kick stride works back to even, aggressive lower-half. Pull-side intent with lift, uphill path, aggressive and intentful. 75.1 mph bat speed with 8g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 101 mph max exit velocity (94.3 avg.); 364-foot max batted distance.

Defense: 1.96-2.06 pop time range; Glove works low-to-high, clean and quick transfer, quick first step, accurate throws on the bag, soft blocker.
Athletic Testing: 7.49 runner in the 60-yard dash; 19.80-inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 65.23 Edge Score.
Playing up a class, Gomez would show an intriguing left-handed bat through the weekend. Presenting a 5-foot-9, 167-pound frame, Gomez has an aggressive approach to go long with a twitchy swing and developing bat speed. Name to follow in the 2028 class as he adds more polish to his present toolset.
Positional Profile: C/C
Body: 5-11, 160 pounds.
Hit: LHH. Wide stance, crouched setup, slightly open, small leg lift back to even. Coils the upper-half and works into a steep path, intent to work on top of the baseball, matches plane at the top of the zone. 67.5 mph bat speed with 4g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 mph max exit velocity (84.7 avg.).
Arm: RH. C - 73 mph. Short arm action, 3/4 slot.

Vizual Edge: 72.81 Edge Score.
At just 14 years old, Gomez hit out of the four holes for an impressive Athletes HQ team. At the plate, the left-handed hitter presented a simple setup, sinking into his legs with loose actions and a flat bat path. Defensively, Gomez showed quality actions behind the plate, receiving the ball well with strong hands. The backstop also flashed a strong arm that helped limit the run game.
The rising freshman Gomez continued to impress Friday, showing a patient approach and produced an opposite field single. The left-handed hitter has shown a simple loose stroke all weekend. Defensively, the catcher continued to impress, showing fluid actions with his hands and flashing an arm that kept the running game in check. The LHH-catcher profile is often coveted, and with Gomez playing up a year, he will most definitely be a name to follow.
