Yoendrys Adrian Gómez (born October 15, 1999) is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.

Career

Gómez signed with the New York Yankees organization as an international free agent on July 2, 2016. Gómez played his first professional season the following year, splitting the season between the Dominican Summer League Yankees and the GCL Yankees, pitching to a cumulative 0–3 record and 5.40 ERA in 11 games between the two teams. In 2018, Gómez returned to the two teams, recording a 4–1 record and 2.08 ERA in 12 appearances. In 2019, Gómez split the season between the rookie-level Pulaski Yankees and the Single-A Charleston RiverDogs, posting a 4–5 record and 3.99 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 56.1 innings of work. He did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Yankees added him to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.

Gómez was assigned to the Single-A Tampa Tarpons to begin the 2021 season, posting a 3.42 ERA with 29 strikeouts across 9 starts before suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament, which was repaired with an internal brace surgery in August 2021. Pitching for the Somerset Patriots in 2022, Gómez pitched the first five innings of a combined seven-inning no-hitter on September 7. After allowing one run in five innings pitched during spring training in 2023, the Yankees assigned Gómez to Double-A Somerset to begin the 2023 season. In 19 starts for Somerset, he logged a 3.58 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 65+1⁄3 innings of work.

On September 22, 2023, Gómez was promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He made his major league debut on September 28, tossing two scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays. Gómez was optioned to the Triple–A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders to begin the 2024 season.
