Carlos Gomez

Carlos Gomez batting second in Astros debut

Carlos Gomez is batting second and playing center field for the Astros in his debut. He is facing off against the Diamondbacks and Rubby De La Rosa.

What It Means:

Gomez has a 0.57 nERD, which puts him above a league average hitter, but is 124th in the league. He has reverse splits this year with a .340 wOBA against righties and a .297 wOBA against lefties, which makes him an appealing option against right-hander Rubby De La Rosa. It should be fun to watch Gomez in the now star-studded Astros lineup.
