David Gomez

David Gomez enters his sixth season as the Head Coach of Eastern New Mexico University Baseball in 2019.

The Greyhound Baseball program is coming off another record setting season. In 2018, Coach Gomez and the ENMU Baseball program qualified for the first postseason appearance in 9 seasons and immediately surpassing that feat by advancing to the LSC tournament semifinals with the first postseason win in school history. The Greyhounds have now led the conference in hitting in back-to-back seasons by batting .322 (15th in the NCAA).  The 2018 team now holds the best on base % in school history with .426 (fourth in the NCAA), most walks in school history, and shattering the school record for stolen bases with 153 (fourth in the NCAA). The 2018 season also garnered back-to-back American Baseball Coaches Association Team Academic Excellence Awards, six All-Conference performers, two All-Region honors, three All-Academic selections, and Keenan Dodd as the Academic Player of the Year.

Under Gomez, the Greyhounds have boasted 31 all-conference performers, six All-Region, two All-Americans, two MLB draft picks Clyde Kendrick and Cody Pope, and the LSC Academic Athlete of the Year. 

In 2017, the program tied the highest winning percentage in school history, best start in school history (14-1), second best turnaround in NCAA history, ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award, and led the LSC in hitting with a .329 batting average
(12th in the NCAA).
