Gose to face live hitters Wednesday
Anthony Gose was a pitcher in high school, where he touched 97 mph. (AP)DETROIT -- The pitching experiment for former Tigers center fielder Anthony Gose is about to progress to actual hitters.
Gose, the former high school pitching prospect who expressed an interest in pitching again after being sent out of big league camp last month, is scheduled to face hitters in a simulated game at extended spring camp in Lakeland, Fla., on Wednesday, manager Brad Ausmus said.
The Tigers have been intrigued by the idea of Gose's potential as a hard-throwing left-handed pitcher. Gose has a fastball in the mid-90s and has dusted off the curveball he used to throw in high school.
