Full Carlos Gomez Biography
Carlos A. Gómez (born December 4, 1985 in Santiago, Dominican Republic) is an outfielder for the New York Mets.
Along with Lastings Milledge and Fernando Martínez, Gómez is considered to be one of the Mets top outfield prospects. He is considered a five tool prospect. Mets shortstop José Reyes, who led the National League in stolen bases and triples for multiple seasons, said that Gómez is faster than him.
At just 16 years of age, Gómez signed with the Mets as an international free agent on July 27, 2002. In 2006, he played for Double-A Binghamton of the Eastern League, and was the co-winner of the Sterling Award. He finished second in the league with 41 stolen bases and fifth in the league with eight triples. He also batted .281 (121-430) with 53 runs scored, 24 doubles, seven home runs and 48 RBIs.
Gómez started the 2007 season with the Triple-A New Orleans Zephyrs. Playing every day, by the second week in May he led the Pacific Coast League with 17 stolen bases in 36 games and hit .286 (40-for-140), including 24 runs, eight doubles, two triples, and two home runs.
After regular left fielder Moisés Alou strained his left quadriceps, the Mets called Gómez up from Triple-A to give them another outfielder. He made his Major League debut on May 13, 2007, hitting a double in his first at-bat. He finished the game 2-for-4 with two hits, two runs scored, a stolen base, and a diving catch in right field in a 9-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
He hit his first career home-run, a three-run homer, on June 10, 2007 at Comerica Park off Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Grilli.
Gomez was placed on the disabled list on July 5, 2007 with a hand injury. Gomez returned to the Mets lineup as a defensive replacement in a home game against the Houston Astros on September 7, 2007.
