3/21/22

VA/DC Scout Blog

It was a short outing for the 5-foot-10, VCU commit. Gomez came on to close it out for the Flucos in the seventh inning. It was a very easy, low effort operation. Long arm swing and throws from a three-quarter arm slot. The fastball had some downhill plane to it, sitting at 83-84 mph and touched 85 once. The breaking ball, as we have seen in the past, has hard 12/6 downer bite. He was able to throw it consistently for strikes at 67-72 mph and offered elite spin that ranged from 2850-2987 RPM in the five that he threw.

3/13/21

VA/DC PreSeason All-State Central

Gomez is 5-10 with an athletic 160 pound frame that has some lower half strength present and plenty of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a slightly open balanced athletic stance, two step low leg kick stride on line, smooth load back to a slight wrap. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short and quick to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path with some strength at contact, extra base power present in the middle of the field with potential to grow into more as he fills out, exit velocity was 89. In the infield, gets body behind ball and fields with a wider base and average hands, works through the ball to a clean exchange, throws from a higher three-quarters arm slot, short loose quick arm action, position velocity was 84. Ran a 7.35 60 yard dash. On the mound, he throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, breaks long before tightening up to a short free quick arm action and some effort to his delivery. Drop and drive crossfire delivery, shoulders are uphill and closed, lands closed with a slight fall off finish and some recoil. Fastball was 82-84, with downward angle and some late armside run and a bit of depth at the end. Curveball was 74-76 with good armspeed and sharp hard 11/5 break to it. Change-up was 72-74 with good armspeed and heavy late fade to it.

10/25/20

VA/DC State Games

Gomez is 5-10 with an athletic frame that has some strength present in the lower half and plenty of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a balanced relaxed athletic stance, two tap stride on line, smooth load down and back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains some lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path, some strength at contact point, showed a good approach working primarily gap to gap, exit velocity was 86. In the infield, gets behind the ball and fields with a wider base and average hands, works through the ball to a clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, shorter arm action, position velocity was 83. Ran a 7.25 60 yard dash. On the mound, he throws from a three-quarters arm slot, shorter loose quick arm action and normal effort to his delivery. Shoulders are slightly uphill and closed, lands slightly closed with a slight fall off finish and recoil. Fastball was 80-83, with downward plane and late armside run that also gets a bit of depth.

Gomez is 5-10 with an athletic frame that has plenty of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a slightly open balanced athletic stance, two-tap low leg kick stride on line, smooth load down and back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains some lower half balance. Hands stay inside, quick to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing with some extension through the ball, showed a good approach with the ability to use the whole field. In the infield, gets behind the ball and fields with average hands, works through the ball to a clean exchange, throws from a three-quarters arm slot, position velocity was 82. On the mound, he throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, shorter free arm action that is quick and easier effort to his delivery. Shoulders are uphill and closed, lands square with an athletic finish. Fastball was 80-81, with some late armside run to it. Curveball had some armspeed and was 63-66 with sharp 11/5 break to it and some shape as well. Change-up was 63-66 with some armspeed and heavy sink to it.
