Carlos Gomez is finally getting some consistent playing time in the Brewer outfield and he is making the most of it.
Analysis: Carlos Gomez has eleven stolen bases this year, which is as much as Ichiro has but in 190 less at-bats. Gomez’s power seems to be peaking as well, his five home runs is just three bombs short of his career high while his .193 isolated power is a career high. Gomez has cut down on the strikeouts(down 5% from last year) which was always one of his biggest weaknesses. He possesses a power/speed combo that is vastly underrated because of where he plays and the limited playing time he saw earlier in the year.
Carlos Gomez is finally coming in to his own at twenty-six years old in the Brewer lead off spot. He’s slugging 70 points higher this year over his career average and his speed is still deadly. Gomez is widely available in fantasy leagues and has gone under the radar over the past few weeks. If he keeps getting consistent at-bats he will become a must own in all fantasy leagues. Gomez already has three stolen bases this month and there is certainly more to come.
