HOUSTON Anthony Gose was assigned to Class A Lakeland on Monday. <\/p>\n
He was listed as a left-handed pitcher, not a centerfielder, and made his professional baseball debut as a pitcher later in the night. <\/p>\n
Gose threw an inning for the Flying Tigers against Class A Palm Beach, allowing one run on one hit with one strikeout and one walk. <\/p>\n
After pitching for the first two months of the season in extended spring training, Gose finally got his first taste of game action. According to a tweet from Lakeland assistant general manager Dan Lauer, Gose hit 99 m.p.h. <\/p>\n
The Tigers are very optimistic with Goses progress throughout extended spring training, according to vice president of player development Dave Littlefield. <\/p>\n
Gose is not playing centerfield any longer, Littlefield said. <\/p>\n
Gose, 26, is a lifetime .240 hitter in parts of five big-league seasons. He was acquired in a trade with the Blue Jays for second baseman Devon Travis prior to the 2015 season. <\/p>\n
