Jeanmar Alejandro Gómez (born February 10, 1988) is a Venezuelan professional baseball relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has also played for the Cleveland Indians and Pittsburgh Pirates.
A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Gómez was signed by the Cleveland Indians as an undrafted free agent.
Since 2006, Gómez has played in the minors with the Gulf Coast League Indians, Lake County Captains, Kinston Indians, Akron Aeros, and the Columbus Clippers.
On May 21, 2009 Gómez pitched a nine-inning perfect game for Akron against the host Trenton Thunder at Waterfront Park. It was the first perfect game in Aeros team history and just the second nine-inning perfect game in Eastern League history, dating back to 1923.
On July 18, 2010 Gómez was called up to the Cleveland Indians from the Columbus Clippers to make his Major League Baseball debut in a spot start against the Detroit Tigers. He entered the game knowing it was his only start before returning to the minor leagues, even though he notched a "lights out" performance, throwing seven innings while surrendering only two unearned runs.
On April 14, 2012 Gómez was ejected after hitting the Kansas City Royals' third baseman Mike Moustakas. The benches had already been warned after Indian's outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was hit by a pitch.
