Still technically a rookie, Gómez pitched 11.1 innings for the Yankees in 2024. All of these were incredibly low leverage, but he wrapped those with a < 4.00 ERA (3.97). 5 of his appearances were clean including 4.2 clean on June 21 against Atlanta. In AAA, he had 93 strikeouts across 83.1 IP and a 3.67 ERA. I like that as something that could be tapped into this year...
Yoendrys Gómez throws primarily a 2 pitch mix of slider and overall grades out as with average stuff, with the slider being the ++ pitch in his arsenal according to Stuff+. On the flip side, the slider grades out as negative run value. Alas. Candidly, there is not much MLB level footage of this anyway, I was trying to scour.
Here's a nice called strike on the corner with the SL:
Floor: regresses and gets stuck in AAA or shipped off to another team.
Ceiling: same season as last year, slight uptick in appearances, 5-10 total for the season, I don't see him becoming a mainstay in the bullpen this year, not much upside until we see more.
