Gomez had an incredible presence at the plate last week as the rookie went 7-for-13 (.538) and compiled a conference-best 2.008 OPS. The two-time NEC Rookie of the Week led FDU to a pair of wins over Mercyhurst after scoring five times and driving in five more in the two victories. Gomez smashed three homers, including two in the Knights’ 18-15 slugfest win in the series finale. The Coral Springs, FL native posted two multi-hit outings last week along with a perfect 4-for-4 showing on Saturday. Gomez has the fourth-most hits (47) in the league and the most of all NEC freshmen. The first-year shortstop became the first Knight to be named NEC Player of the Week and NEC Rookie of the Week in the same week since Luke Cantwell on March 29, 2022.
