Brandon Gomes[1] (born July 15, 1984) is an American former professional baseball pitcher and current front office executive for the Los Angeles Dodgers. His title is Vice President & Assistant General Manager. He played for the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2011 to 2015. He previously served as the Director of Player Development for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Amateur career
Born and raised in Fall River, Massachusetts, Gomes attended Durfee High School. At Durfee, Gomes pitched and also played shortstop, hitting .425 with 14 home runs and 83 RBIs while also compiling a record of 19–5 with a 1.66 ERA and 287 strikeouts. Gomes, who was also a member of the National Honor Society, was Massachusetts High School Gatorade Player of the Year and also won All-State honors twice. After high school, Gomes attended Tulane University. After having a successful freshman season, Gomes had Tommy John surgery during his sophomore year, receiving a medical redshirt. As a redshirt sophomore, Gomes continued to work out of both the bullpen and starting rotation, but later became a full-time starter as a junior. As a senior, Gomes improved, going 7–6 with a 3.92 ERA and 74 strikeouts in 96.1 innings. In 2003 and 2006, Gomes played for the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League, going 2–2 with a 3.62 ERA for the team in 2006.[2][3][4]
Professional career
San Diego Padres
Gomes was selected by the San Diego Padres in the seventeenth round (537th overall) of the 2007 MLB draft out of Tulane University.[5] Gomes is of Portuguese and Italian heritage.

Chicago Cubs
