NE Insider: The Recruiting Angle with Tyler Gomes
This time of year seems to be a very nerve racking time for unsigned seniors and underclassmen looking to get on coaches radar. No need to panic, it's early in the spring and once it warms up, the coaches will be out to see your game. Relaxing and enjoying the spring season is important, so keep in mind, control the controllable things and work on your game.
The following weekly article will be a feature on a player who has yet to break onto the scene, but certainly has the ability to play and/or pitch at the college level.
Today we are going to take a look at Tyler Gomes, a 2017 C/RHP from Franklin (MA).
Scouting Report
As a positional player, he worked out behind the dish, showing a short arm path and a pop time of 2.13. The arm strength was 67 from the catching position. The feet and transfer will clean up and help him improve all his times and throws. Ran a 7.57. The bat was strong and he throws the barrel to the ball well. Tee exit velocity of 72. The set up is good and it allows him to use his hands nicely. On the mound, he threw from a high-¾ slot and the fastball sat at 73. His secondary stuff is good, as the change up had the correct action and sat at 67. The spin had very good shape and form, sitting at 62. If he can minimize the effort in his delivery his stuff will take a jump. Good looking athlete at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds.
