US EditionMets Class A prospect turns heads with a pitch clocked at 104.5 mph
- Raimon Gomez, a 23-year-old right-handed Class A pitcher for the New York Mets, threw a 104.5 mph pitch on Saturday while playing for St. Lucie.
- Gomez signed as an international free agent from Venezuela in 2021 and returned this season after spending all of 2024 on the injured list.
- He pitched three hitless innings against Daytona, striking out four with 23 of 38 pitches over 100 mph, setting the fastest Statcast-recorded pitch in the minors over five years.
- Gomez has started this season with a 0.00 ERA, throwing 7.2 scoreless innings and striking out 11 batters, outperforming this year's major league fastest pitch of 103.7 mph by Mason Miller.
- This performance suggests Gomez could become a notable Mets pitching prospect if he refines his command and limits free passes despite not yet ranking among the team's top 30 prospects.
