Raimon Gomez

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked New York Mets #26 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 45/High.
  
  Track Record: Just as things began looking up for Gomez in 2023, he had Tommy John surgery in May of that year after making three starts for High-A Brooklyn. He missed most of that season and all of 2024 while rehabbing. Gomez wowed scouts on the minor league backfields during spring training 2023 with his velocity. It was a major step forward for a pitcher who had mostly been a nondescript reliever after signing as a 19-year-old out of Venezuela in 2021.
  
  Scouting Report: Gomez at full strength might have the best arm in the Mets’ minor league system. Before tearing his elbow ligament, he pitched at 96-98 mph and hit 100 with good riding life on a double-plus four-seam fastball. Gomez was hitting the upper registers late in 2024 during his rehab, but because of role and then injury he hasn’t been able to prove whether he can hold that velocity. His high-80s power slider looked like a second big league weapon with plus potential when he was healthy in early 2023. He briefly toyed with a low-90s cutter before going under the knife. Gomez had below-average control prior to TJS and must prove he can throw strikes to remain in the rotation. The Mets were impressed with how Gomez attacked his rehab. He used his down time to build strength and lean up his 6-foot-2 frame.
  
  The Future: Late in 2024, Gomez was in peak physical condition after appearing heavyset early in his career. If he can hold his stuff and throw strikes in 2025, he has a shot at the rotation. It’s just as easy to see Gomez rocket through the minors as a high-leverage reliever.
  
  Scouting Grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 55 | Cutter: 40 | Control: 40.

  Ranked New York Mets #27 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Gomez signed as a 19-year-old out of Venezuela in 2021 and pitched mostly in relief during his first two pro seasons, including at Low-A St. Lucie in 2022. He came out firing in spring 2023 to catch the attention of scouts on the minor league backfields with high-90s heat and a sharp high-80s slider. Assigned to High-A Brooklyn to work as a starter, Gomez struck out 12 in seven innings before succumbing to Tommy John surgery after three starts.
  
  Scouting Report: Gomez is a solidly-built 6-foot-2 righthander who showed double-plus 97 mph velocity and above-average riding life prior to having TJS. His sharp, power slider tops near 89 mph and is a true swing-and-miss pitch with plus potential. Gomez toyed with a low-90s cutter briefly before going under the knife. He should get back on the mound around midseason 2024, when he will continue working to refine his strike-throwing and develop a changeup. Gomez was primarily a two-pitch pitcher in 2023, and given his relief background and below-average control--he walked nine of 33 batters faced in 2023--a move to the bullpen could be in his future.
  
  The Future: Gomez will be just 22 years old when he returns and has obvious big league arm talent if he makes a full recovery. He could get on the MLB radar as soon as 2025 if moved to the bullpen.
