Former Major League pitcher offers pitching lessons

Former San Francisco Giant Pat Gomez now offers pitching lessons in the Sacramento area. Pat has been coached by some of the biggest names in baseball including Phil Niekro, Dick Pole, Jim Riggleman, Bruce Bochy, Dusty Baker and Leo Mazzone to name a few.

Pat is a 1986 graduate of San Juan High School, where in his final season, he struck out 110 batters in 70 innings of work. With a fastball that was consistently timed in the mid-90s, he was drafted that summer in the fourth round by the Chicago Cubs.

During his time in the minor leagues, he was a 2-time minor league All Star (Carolina League – 1989, Southern League – 1992). One of the best memories of him while in the minor leagues was being part of the historic 1992 Greenville Braves that won 100 games, a record that still stands. Pat’s contribution was a record of 7-0 with a surprisingly low ERA of 1.13. His reward was a call-up to the big leagues in time to be a part of the Atlanta Braves winning the NL West. They went on to win the National League Championship Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates (ask to see the ring!).

Getting to “The Show” is every player’s dream, which Pat definitely achieved in 1993 with the San Diego Padres. The 1993 roster included baseball greats like Fred McGriff, Trevor Hoffman, Gary Sheffield, Bruce Hurst and everyone’s favorite dad, Tony Gwynn.

The next two years took him to the San Francisco Giants, where he played alongside such legends of the game as Matt Williams, Robby Thompson, Dave Burba, Rod Beck, Darryl Strawberry, Willie McGee, Deion Sanders, Shawn Estes and Barry Bonds.

“Baseball has been one of my lifelong passions, from playing since I could throw a ball in the big leagues to coaching at local high schools. I learned a long time ago that pitching is so much more than just throwing the ball as hard as you can. you can”. . There is also a mental aspect that is rarely taught at any level.” Pat continued, “Let me share techniques and approaches to the game that I learned from some of the best players and coaches in baseball. You’ll be surprised how the pros approach the game, and it’s a big reason why some guys get to the next level and some guys don’t.”

One hour lesson – $65.00
Half hour lesson – $40.00
