The Book on Hector Gomez
Prospect Info
Hector Gomez
Born 3/5/1988
SS, COL
Gomez's development is pushing him into a competition with fellow Rockie prospect Chris Nelson for the title of most-promising SS in the system.
A fast runner with decent base-stealing ability, and a solid defender with a plus arm, Gomez remains held back only by his lack of plate discipline. If he can learn to tone down the strikeouts and stop trying to pull every pitch to deep left, he'll be a solid contributor somewhere down the line. With Tulo anchoring shortstop in Colorado for now, though, either Gomez or Nelson may need to move to 2B... or to another franchise... before they get a real shot.
