Carlos Argelis Gómez Peña, nicknamed Go-Go,[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾlos ˈɡomes]; born December 4, 1985) is a Dominican former professional baseball outfielder.

He played for the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays.

At just 16 years of age, Gómez signed with the New York Mets as an international free agent on July 27, 2002.

While they were teammates, Mets shortstop José Reyes, who led the National League in stolen bases and triples for multiple seasons, said that Gómez was faster than he was.

Playing every day, he led the Pacific Coast League (PCL) with 17 stolen bases by the second week of May.

He won a three-way race for center field in 2008, beating out prospects Denard Span and Jason Pridie.
