Gabriel Ynoa Gómez (born May 26, 1993) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for the New York Mets.
Career
New York Mets
Ynoa signed with the New York Mets as an international free agent in November 2009. He made his professional debut that season with the Dominican Summer League Mets. Pitching for the Savannah Sand Gnats in 2013, Ynoa was named the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Year, after winning 15 games and recording a 2.72 earned run average (ERA).[1] Ynoa started 2014 with the St. Lucie Mets and was promoted to the Double-A Binghamton Mets during the season.[2]
Ynoa was called up to the major leagues for the first time on August 13, 2016.[3] That night, he pitched a perfect 11th inning against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field to record a win in his major league debut.[4]
Baltimore Orioles
On February 10, 2017, Ynoa was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations.[5] Ynoa made his debut with the Orioles on May 5 after being brought in from the bullpen in the first inning after Orioles' starter Wade Miley left the game with a wrist contusion. Ynoa threw six scoreless innings, allowing six hits while striking out five batters. It was Ynoa's longest career outing. He earned the victory in a 4-2 Orioles win. He missed the entire 2018 season with a right shin stress reaction. He was outrighted on November 1, then signed a minor league deal for the 2019 season.[citation needed]
Ynoa started the 2019 season with the Norfolk Tides. The Orioles promoted him to the major leagues on April 21.[6]
