Back in 2018, the New York Yankees brought in a heralded teenage catcher from Venezuela by the name of Antonio Gomez as part of their international amateur free agent haul. Signing for the not-so-insignificant sum of $600,000, the then-17-year-old was ranked as not just one of the top catchers, but one of the top players in the class.
Baseball America noted at the time of his signing that he already had excellent receiving skills, but that his top attribute was his 70-grade arm, which allowed him to fire darts to second base with upper-80s velocity.
