Scouting Scratch: Buttrey, Gomez, Grover (7.3.13)
2013 Top 40 Season in Review |
Released (April 2014)
Scouting Report:
Tall, lanky Colombian right-hander signed with Boston in December 2009.
Originally slated to start the 2010 season in the DSL, Gomez impressed the
Sox brass so much they named him the Opening Day starter for the GCL Red
Sox at the age of 16. Fastball sits 89-92 mph with some tail. Tops out at
94 mph. Shows good feel and ease when ball comes out of his hand. Has the
ability to add velocity as he fills out his frame. Also mixes in a
high-70s straight changeup that drops out of strike zone. Has not yet
developed any breaking pitches to use in game action. Very raw, but
projectable arm.
