Career

[edit]

Gómez signed with the New York Yankees organization as an international free agent on July 2, 2016.[1] Gómez played his first professional season the following year, splitting the season between the Dominican Summer League Yankees and the GCL Yankees, pitching to a cumulative 0–3 record and 5.40 ERA in 11 games between the two teams. In 2018, Gómez returned to the two teams, recording a 4–1 record and 2.08 ERA in 12 appearances. In 2019, Gómez split the season between the rookie-level Pulaski Yankees and the Single-A Charleston RiverDogs, posting a 4–5 record and 3.99 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 56.1 innings of work.[2] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The Yankees added him to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.[4]

Gómez was assigned to the Single-A Tampa Tarpons to begin the 2021 season, posting a 3.42 ERA with 29 strikeouts across 9 starts before suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament, which was repaired with an internal brace surgery in August 2021.[5] Pitching for the Somerset Patriots in 2022, Gómez pitched the first five innings of a combined seven-inning no-hitter on September 7.[6] After allowing one run in five innings pitched during spring training in 2023, the Yankees assigned Gómez to Double-A Somerset to begin the 2023 season.[7] In 19 starts for Somerset, he logged a 3.58 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 65+1⁄3 innings of work.

On September 22, 2023, Gómez was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[8] He made his major league debut on September 28, tossing two scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays. Gómez was optioned to the Triple–A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders to begin the 2024 season.[9]
