SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Jonny Gomes, former MLB standout and World Series champion, will join Indie Pro, an independent sports agency that represents and advises both amateur and professional baseball players, as full agent.

Founded by recognized media executive, Joe Poletto, and veteran sports agent, Chris Lemonis, Indie Pro is committed to maximizing players' personal and professional potential through unrivaled, player-centric support and guidance.

With the addition of Gomes and his extensive MLB experience, Indie Pro expects to continue signing and advising new top talent sourced from high school, college, and overseas, as well as expand their professional minor and major league client roster.

"I've invested my entire life to perfecting the game of baseball," says Gomes. "Joining Indie Pro affords me the amazing opportunity to continue my career in pro baseball, while also helping develop and elevate our players' talent so they can maximize their potential and reach the next level."  

With its core group of former professional players as well as their vast network of scouts, managers, and executives across professional baseball, Indie Pro continues to position itself as a powerful and successful independent sports agency hyper-focused on personal attention, development, and guidance.

"Massive agencies can't compete with our ability to connect with our players on a personal level while also helping them become better players," says Lemonis, co-founder.  "With Jonny on board, we've added yet another layer of wisdom and experience that our clients can tap into whenever they want—Jonny knows major league baseball from the inside out and understands what it takes for our players to get there, and that's what sets him apart from other agents."

As a 13-year veteran of Major League Baseball, Gomes built a reputation for his hustle and determination, and was lauded for his attention to detail and fierce competitive spirit.

"I'm excited to transfer my tenacity as a player into the role of agent," says Gomes. "My reputation is my most valuable asset, and I plan on personally protecting and caring for our players on and off the field while helping them achieve at the very highest level."
