Biographical Information

Gabriel Do Carmo has played in the French Division I and for the Brazilian national team.

He debuted in Division I with the 2018 Montigny Cougars, hitting .253/.375/.278 with 10 steals in 12 tries over 24 games. He fielded .974, throwing out 26.1% of would-be base-stealers. He tied Juan Carela and Paolo Brossier for 6th in swipes and tied for third in runners thrown out (though only tied for 10th in steals allowed). He was 3-for-15 with a double, two steals in three tries and one run in the 2019 CEB Cup, playing error-free defense. Only Kostiantyn Chukhas stole more bases. In France that summer, he batted .301/.355/.460 with 24 RBI in 30 games and fielded .991, throwing out 23.3%. He tied for 6th with 3 triples.

Do Carmo was on Brazil's announced roster for the 2020 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers before those were among the first baseball events canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 French season was wiped out as well. In '21, he improved to .320/.429/.500 for Montigny, with 13 runs in 15 games, fielding .989. He tied former minor leaguer Andy Paz for 7th in slugging. He fell to .289/.415/.382 in 2022, fielding .979 and allowing 19 steals in 20 tries, though he personally was 6-for-6 in steal attempts. He tied for 5th with 5 HBP.

For the '23 Cougars, he produced at a .241/.368/.345 clip with 18 runs in 24 games, stole 14 bases in 16 attempts, was 1-0 with one unearned run allowed in five innings pitched and fielded .982, throwing out 33.3%. He tied for the league lead with 14 passed balls, tied Yeixon Ruiz for second in swipes and threw out the most base-stealers (15, one more than Miguel López), while he was second in steals allowed (30, 7 back). He was then the starting backstop for Brazil in the 2023 Pan American Games. He hit 8th in the opener against Venezuela. His first time up, against Sergio Velis, he hit into a Rayder Ascanio error to score Lucas Rojo. He got his lone hit of the Games off Cuba's José Rodríguez, finishing at 1-for-12 with a walk, HBP and two runs. He handled 39 chances error-free and threw out one of three who tried to steal. Brazil won Silver, their first baseball medal in a Pan American Games. His 37 putouts were third in the Games, behind first basemen Jhadiel Santamaría and Leandro Emiliani.
