Jeremiah
Gomez

It was an intriguing outing for Gomez on his home field, flashing real upside as a young left-hander. Working against five batters, Gomez recorded two strikeouts while showing a feel to pitch. His fastball sat 84-86 mph, spinning up to nearly 2400 rpm with arm-side run, giving it late life through the zone. He lands slightly closed in his delivery, creating an uncomfortable look for LHHs while doing a nice job of hiding the ball from RHHs, adding to the deception. Gomez mixed in both a curveball and a changeup, but the changeup stood out as his true weapon. Thrown at 74-76 mph, it showed late arm-side fade and drop, providing effective separation off the fastball and consistently disrupting timing. He showed strong feel for the pitch, locating it in the strike zone at a 75% rate. With a physical 6-1, 220-pound frame and plenty of time for continued development, Gomez already carries a strong presence on the mound. La Mirada appears to have a solid foundation in its 2028 class, and Gomez looks like a key piece with the potential to continue trending up as he matures.
