Carlos Gomez has gradually shown an increase in power, which may bode well for his future.
"It seems organic, since he's added to his isolated slugging percentages every year. And he's done it by hitting more fly balls every year. He's an aggressive hitter, not known for patience, and he's seeing fewer and fewer pitches per plate appearances," writes Eno Sarris of FanGraphs.
However, Gomez has shown some negative signs as well.
"He's only shown above-average power for a season and a half now," Sarris writes. "He never really showed this kind of power in the minor leagues, despite some scouts believing he could add power as he aged. The average distance of his fly balls and home runs — 288.29 feet in 2011, 288.40 in 2012 — is not upper echelon."
