Four months before the Philadelphia Phillies won their second World Series championship in franchise history — defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games — the team selected outfield prospect Anthony Gose in the second round of the amateur draft.

In the summer of 2010, the Phillies acquired Roy Oswalt for Gose, who appeared in 372 games as a position player from 2012-16 with the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers.

Now, five seasons later, Gose is making a major-league comeback — but rather as a flame-throwing, left-handed reliever who is reaching near-100 miles per hour on the radar gun.
