If you told Gavin Gomez a year ago he’d be heading into his senior season with an NCAA Division I baseball scholarship, he wouldn’t have believed you.
The right-handed pitcher and outfielder had a breakout junior season for the Rattlers in 2022, earning his spot in the rotation and eventually being named District 26-6A’s Pitcher of the Year off the back of a 4-1 record, 35 strikeouts and a 0.72 ERA in 38.2 innings. Gomez’s impressive season in one of the toughest districts in all of 6A Texas high school baseball led to a lot of exposure and contact from college coaches, but Gomez needed to stay consistent throughout select summer ball to make his dreams come true.
Gomez, an incoming senior, continued to produce at summer events like Prep Baseball Report’s DFW prospect showcase, the 17U WWBA South Championship and more, leading up to the week of June 27 — when Gomez took his first official visit to Tarleton State University. The next weekend, Gomez committed to the Texans.
