Between the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers, Gose batted .240\/.309\/.348 in 1,252 plate appearances. It wasn&#8217;t until 2017 that Gose transitioned to the mound. By 2018, Gose was a full-time pitcher in the Texas Rangers minor league system, eventually landing with Cleveland in a minor league trade in 2019. Gose spent multiple seasons working with the Guardians&#8217; pitching development program, focusing on his mound skills and returning to the majors in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>From 2021-22, Gose posted a 3.90 ERA while pitching 27 2\/3 innings. Gose averages 98 mph on his four-seam fastball, topping 100 mph at any given time. He returned in 2022, posting a 4.71 ERA in 21 innings. However, he was out in July due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/j\/johnto01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tommy John<\/a> surgery. He inked a two-year minor league contract to return to the Guardians that offseason but missed the 2023 season recovering from the surgery. After missing more than a year of activity, Gose earned a roster spot with Triple-A Columbus. This season, he has been healthy, throwing 38 1\/3 innings with a 3.29 ERA with Columbus.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=hentgsa01,hentge001sam&amp;search=Sam+Hentges&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sam Hentges<\/a> on the injured list, this gives the Guardians a second left-handed option alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/herriti01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-08-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tim Herrin<\/a> in what has been the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/08\/01\/guardians-best-bullpen-baseball\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">best bullpen in baseball<\/a> this season.
