40 Man Roster Review - Yoendrys Gómez (SP)

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.

Happy New Year! The Yankees need to make one more move, even if they don't a) think they do or b) want to. They simply have to rid thems...
