PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Raimon Gomez still has a long way to go to reach the major leagues. His fastball velocity, however, would fit in just fine.

Gomez, a Class A prospect for the New York Mets, had a pitch clocked while pitching for St. Lucie on Saturday. That's faster than any pitch thrown in the majors this year, according to Statcast.

Gomez threw three hitless innings in a 4-2 win over Daytona.

The 23-year-old from Venezuela is not among the Mets' top 30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline. But he has thrown 7 2/3 scoreless innings to start this season after spending all of 2024 on the injured list.

The fastest pitch in the majors this season so far , by Mason Miller of the Athletics.
